Meggy

It's how he checks in when my tears aren't shy
Green-speckled eyes conveying comfort to mine
Being the strength that I need when buckled to my knees
He's everything to me

It's her words when I'm a triggered mess
Authentic love felt across a grand distance
Support that’s sincere and no judgment when I'm real
She'll be forever my top-tier

Those people
You know the ones I'm talking about
Those people
Who care when you're crumbling down
They are the ones you want if you’re in a state of fragile mind
Whose love seeps through your barrier every time they’re by your side
Don't let them go
Don't isolate and hide
For those are the people who matter most in life

A rainstorm has inked the sky, but it’s okay
It’s their presence bringing the light, anyway
From my cabin up north, you’ll hear echoing forth our laughter, not pain
Made of Eastern White Pine, there’s comfort inside
And a connection that's here to stay
Oh our connection is everything

Those people
You know the ones I'm talking about
Those people
Who care when you're crumbling down
They are the ones you want if you’re in a state of fragile mind
Whose love seeps through your barrier every time they’re by your side
Don't let them go
Don't isolate and hide
For those are the people who matter most in life

Those people
You know the ones I'm talking about
Those people
Who light you up inside and out
They are the ones worth all your energy and priceless time
Don’t ever forget they matter most in life
For those are the people who matter most in life

Trauma emerges in the morning, hides in your dreams at night
If you ask how I'm doing, oh I'm never alright
The street most empty is the street I take
For I'm on my way to no one, on my way to fate

In a different time, another place
Maybe my head wouldn't need an escape

[chorus]
I've got the sunshine blues
It happens when the bright spot blinds you
Can't even choose
Death avalanche behind you
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is the trick mirror caught me
Here I go, here I go, here I go
Where? In search of home

Right now, I'm drifting on
The world a blur phenomenon
All I learned was one big con
Oh hey, where has my heart gone?

[chorus]
I've got the sunshine blues
It happens when the bright spot blinds you
Can't even choose
Death avalanche behind you
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is the trick mirror caught me
Here I go, here I go, here I go
Where? In search of home

Home was pain but home is also growth
Home is that moment you connect with another soul
Trauma may stay but you can be okay
Home is the inner peace that you make

[chorus]
I've got the sunshine blues
It happens when the bright spot blinds you
Can't even choose
Death avalanche behind you
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is the trick mirror caught me
Here I go, here I go, here I go
Where? In search of home

Come on over
Your company's divine
I got popcorn popping on the stove
A crackling fireplace for light
We can do anything or nothing if you prefer
All I care about is you’ll be here
Top moment of my year

Maybe we can laugh until the tears fall out
Then cuddle as the new moon shines in
Your soul a source of warmth and love
How much richer now my life is
And if you stay so late you rest your eyes and fall asleep
Know it’s okay and this smile I have will take me to my dreams

Hop on in now
The car is all warmed up
I got the gas tank filled up to the top
Outside the sun’s about to pop
We can go anywhere or nowhere if you prefer
For a road trip with you doesn’t need a plan
Just lots of jams

Maybe we can laugh until the tears fall out
And sing until our voices are dying
Your grin a source of joy and fun
How much brighter now my life is
And if you tell me it’s time to return, oh please know
That it's okay and this smile I have will never ever go

Oh I hope you know what you mean to me
You’re way more special than you believe
My life was a cave straight cold and dark
Until you shined a light and led me out
Every day my heart repairs
Ever so thankful that you're near
No matter what happens I’ll be here for you
For you

Maybe we can laugh until the tears fall out
Support each other in our passions
Your presence a source of peace and growth
How much grander now my life is
And when you said you plan to stay around long in my life
I hope you saw my dimples as my smile got extra wide
Oh my smile got extra wide

Looking back in time
I hate all I couldn’t stand up for
Decided my fate by all of those around me, oh

Now is it too late
Tell me life can still be made
All I want I can still obtain
And the pain will someday go away

For I’m tired of all the dreams that haunt me, dusty and locked up tight
I need the open road
A million stars above
To make everything alright
The journey swallowed me whole and spit me out, lost and bitter cold
The love of friends around me is the only thing keeping me whole

Now is it too late
Tell me life can still be made
All I want I can still obtain
And the pain will someday go away

Take it now
One day at a time
One day I’ll be fine
Convince my mind
Finding love in my growth is the balance against all that burned my soul
Take it now
One breath at a time
Released in a sigh
The hurt inside
All I want is to feel at home, to feel peace when I’m old

Oh is it too late
Please tell me life can still be made
That all I want I can still obtain
That the pain will someday go away

Please tell me
Life wasn’t over yesterday
All I want I can still obtain
Someday I’ll be okay
Someday I’ll be okay

Have you ever had that day where your mind is straight blank
And tears don’t stop sliding down your face
Have you ever wondered why you got a shitty hand in life
And every day’s a battle stuck in overdrive
You’re finally awake and see the truth of the old
Manipulated, infiltrated, do what you’re told
Now growth is shining through, that’s never a shame
So be proud and know you’re pioneering change

[chorus]
Because life doesn’t start until the healing begins
Where you’re made to look at all the poison within
All you need to know is everything can be beat
Mind restored, heart reborn you can defeat
So take a step, a hopeful stride
Start your journey with your head held high
And you will feel white light reach in
This is how the healing begins

Today your spirit comes alive like you surpassed the sky
An optimistic future puts your smile extra wide
But yesterday was rough, you questioned if you were enough
Your wants and needs and hopes and dreams were never felt in love
Life isn’t easy with its situations known
Sometimes your heart feels it’s enduring all alone
Looking straight ahead you forge the valleys and the peaks
Though body hurts and mind is numb you’re opposite of weak

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
And though you might start alone and shot down
Feeling deep in a hole underground
Soon you will see a wave of support
Feel love in a hug
Hear your favorite chords
These gems of life all yours to receive
As you experience your healing journey
So take that step and never stop
White light will lead you to the top

[repeat chorus]

This is how the healing begins
