Poetry Friday: Half Heart by Jimmy Eat World

[slayground]

The path you didn't take, it always ends perfect only 'cause you never did

The floating fire is hard to hold
Our fingers pass right through its glow
There's peace out there somewhere in time
But I'm as real as you will find

Hello from Bridget

The feeling that "There's peace out there somewhere in time" keeps me going. I like how the lyrics of songs can speak for our heart sometimes.

The floating fire...I love that line and the next. Beautiful! Thanks. Song lyrics are some of my favorite poems. Do you watch Songland?

I've seen and heard some pieces from Songland, but I haven't watched it yet!
