Building Blocks of Life
I couldn't sleep no matter what, and so I had a tune bouncing around in my head that I decided to transform into a song. This poured out of me pretty quickly, like it had been bubbling under the surface for some time. It's pretty self-explanatory, talking about how our pasts shape our futures, and the days will get brighter for us all. I hope that's true at least! This is probably my favorite chorus I ever wrote for a song. It's very poignant.

Wunschliste
She was looking back on past regrets
A long time ago, but she can't forget
Mistakes of youth still keep her up and night
The time she chased a good man away
Then found a bad one to take his place
And she wonders if she'll ever get it right
She just might
(Chorus)
'Cause the past ain't nothin' but a rear-view image
And the future's comin' 'head a mile a minute
You'll be there 'fore you know it
Not even realize that you're growin'
The missteps we take help to keep us straight
And every single pain is just a chance to change
Every bit of darkness will soon fill up with light...
And regrets are just the building blocks of life
He was lost in a memory, four shots in
Held a good job and his girl loved him
And he still rues the day he threw it all away
Thinks what he did is now a ghost that haunts
Works to hold him back as it laughs and taunts
And he swears he'll never reach those better days
Well, just wait
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Ain't none of us did a thing
That we wouldn't love to take back
So just stay focused on the race
And you'll keep your life on track
(Chorus)
