including me.

I’m looking around, and I guess
I’m thinking; hey is this what I want?
Don’t need to equate doing your laundry
With the end of my life…

Doesn’t mean I can stop, that I don’t
Need anybody like I had thought…
Guess it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t look…
Just coz you’re by my side…

And if this came easy to you,
Just connected your mind…
I guess that with me
It took a little more time…

(Chorus)
I don’t have to fight the things that don’t ask me to fight…
And I never meant to stop anyone, including me, from living their lives…
I don’t have to run away screaming every time shit gets tight…
And I don’t have to stop anyone, including me, from living their lives…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not
Giving permission to walk over my heart…
You’ll be seen by your choices
You decide who you will be…

You walk around and you look
And then you pick and you choose
And then the rest I guess is just left
To something bigger than you or me…

And if a final decision on God was just easy for you
Didn’t play tricks on your mind…
I’m glad, but I guess that for me…
It’s taken a little more time…
(chorus)

the world is full of strong people – including me
and your life is a mystery – including me…
and I’m learning to live without losing everything – including me…
and there’s a place for everything out there… including me…
(Chorus)

and if this all came as not even shocking to you
didn’t play any tricks on your mind…
I’m happy for you – but baby, I guess that for me
It took a little more time…
It took a little more time…
It took a little more time…END © July 8, 2005 ARRFBC TUC
