When stars collide

(Christopher Van Name)

Sometimes it takes awhile for two people to find each other and fall in love. But when they do…

You were on your own
Far from home
Taking a chance 
Searching for something new
I was all alone 
For so long
Letting the past 
Keep me from finding you 

You were out of reach 
Off in the clouds
Chasing a dream 
You knew could never be
I was in between 
Stuck on the ground 
Hoping to be 
The one who would make you see

You ran ahead
I fell behind 
We both were lost 
In our own time
We tried so hard 
To close our eyes 
But love can’t hide 
When stars collide 

When two hearts lose their way
Love soon shies away
Leaving them to wander in the night 
The universe is filled with stars 
Whose lonely paths cross in the dark 
Then disappear into the morning light 

Funny how love can be 
Easy to see
But never won 
So easily 
Both of us alone 
On our own 
Who would have known
We’d take a chance 
And fall in love 

You fell to earth 
I learned to fly 
We found each other 
Just in time 
We tried so hard 
To close our eyes 
But love can’t hide 
When stars collide 
Love can’t hide 
When stars collide

My Grudge

By Karianne Gabaldon

A depressing piece about someone hating themself so badly that they are their worst enemy and hold a self-grudge. Hurting themself into oblivion. I must admit that this was me until I got help. I am no longer this person due to newfound self-love. I hope those who feel this way get the help that they need as well. I love you and God loves you.

It's Only Me

By Yeni Cuff

Still in disbelief that they could walk away and leave you with so many memories so you find yourself holding on to some of these memories until there comes a point when you realize it's time to throw in the towel and focus on other things. Eventually, you will focus on other things after accepting the fact that it was only you.

Home Alone

By Rowan Wilton

This song is from the perspective of an ambitious house bound individual who is daydreaming of fulfilling their heart’s wildest desires while enjoying earthly comforts. Though our protagonist has been wronged on many accounts by many past tormentors, there is an overwhelming sensation of bliss captured in the words, and newfound motivation brought forth from the careful contemplation in isolation.

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix

This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.
