the perfect space

this is one of my all time 
favorite songs

  the perfect space 
 ~the avett brothers~


*please insert woman every time it says man*

I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become not the man I was.
I wanna have friends that will let me be
all alone when being alone is all that I need.

I wanna fit in to the perfect space,
feel natural and safe in a volatile place.
And I wanna grow old without the pain,
give my body back to the earth and not complain.

Will you understand …when I am to hold up a man?
And will you forget when we have paid our debt
who did we borrow from? Who did we borrow from?

Okay part two now clear the house.
The party’s over take the shouting and the people, get out.
I have some business and a promise that I have to hold to.
I do not care what you assume or what the people tell you.

Will you understand, when I am too old of a man?
Will you forget when we have paid our debt,
who did we borrow from, who did borrow from?

I wanna have pride like my mother has,
And not like the kind in the bible that turns you bad.
*my favorite verse*
And I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ll become and not the man that I was.

i was driving my boys to school yesterday and listening to this song and i started thinking on it. why yes, i do do my best thinking when i am driving. doesn't everyone? it's so quiet and distraction free...you know what i mean. 
back to the song. isn't this what we all want. people to love you for you. because you are so awesome just being you.

happy wednesday my friends.
 i love you for you 
you are awesome 
just you!
