Sometimes I need an escape/fresh air

When I need fresh air I go for a run.  Tonight I pushed myself a little hard.  12 miles later, I'm sore, but feeling good.  


Sometimes this song hits home..


You know though, nothin' come easy
You gotta try real, real hard

I tried hard but I guess I gotta try harder

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery

Man, I tried so hard but always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault ?cause I tried to get away but trouble follows me
And still I try so hard hopin? one day you'll come and rescue me

But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin? dough

First let me explain that I'm just a black man
And I come from the darkside
So I'm havin? a hard time stayin' on track man
My mind be racin' and I don't even know what I'm chasin? yet
Been in and out of relationships
I'm startin' to see that it's me where the complication's at

But I'm layin' back prayin' that you get that piece of mind of me
I thought I was right but really I'm wrong
Then again I was too blind to see

I was in the fast lane chasin? my dream
And then it seemed when the fame and cash came they just got me

Goin' crazy, lately I been so faded tryna erase it
But I just can't cause the drama just grows greater
And I been in so many collisions by puttin? ** off till later

I tried so hard, can't seem to get away from misery
Man, I tried so hard but always be a victim of these streets
It ain't my fault ?cause I tried to get away but trouble follows me
And still I try so hard hopin? one day you'll come and rescue me

But until then I'll be posted up right here rain, sleet, hail, snow
But until then I'll be posted up right here with my heat gettin? dough

It's like I'm takin? five steps forward and ten steps back
Tryin? get ahead of the game but I can't seem to get it on track
And I keep runnin? away the ones that say they love me the most

How could I create the distance when it's supposed to be close?

And uh I just don't know but I be out here fightin? demons
And it's like the curse that I can't shake this part of Cleveland
And Lord would you help me?
And stop this pain I keep inflinctin? on my family

Hustlin? and gamblin?, drinkin' and scramblin'
And losin? sight of what I supposed to be handlin'
It's hard to manage ?cause every day?s a challenge
And man, I'm slippin? can't lose my balance, I?m tryin? not to panic

Even more often this song hits home.. 



Woke up in London yesterday 
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly 
Don't really know how I got here 
I got some pictures on my phone 

New names and numbers that I don't know 
Address to places like Abbey Road 
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want 
We're young enough to say 

Oh this has gotta be the good life 
This has gotta be the good life 
This could really be a good life, good life 

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight 

Like this city is on fire tonight 
This could really be a good life 
A good, good life 

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh 

To my friends in New York, I say hello 
My friends in L.A. they don't know 
Where I've been for the past few years or so 
Paris to China to Col-or-ado 

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out 
Sometimes there's bull** that don't work now 
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e 
What there is to complain about 


When you're happy like a fool 
Let it take you over 
When everything is out 
You gotta take it in 

Oh this has gotta be the good life 

This has gotta be the good life 
This could really be a good life, good life 

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight 
Like this city is on fire tonight 
This could really be a good life 
A good, good life 

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A good good life Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Hopelessly 
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss 
Hopelessly 
I feel like the window closes oh so quick 
Hopelessly 
I'm taking a mental picture of you now 
'Cuz hopelessly 
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh this has gotta be the good life 
This has gotta be the good life 
This could really be a good life, good life 

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight 
Like this city is on fire tonight 
This could really be a good life 
A good, good life 



I really like this song.. ( I may think about it in a 
different way than you do)



Mile upon mile got no direction,
We're all playing the same game.
We're all looking for redemption,
Just afraid to say the name.

So caught up now in pretending,
That what we're seekin' is the truth.
I'm just looking for a happy ending,

All I'm looking for is you.

You came upon me wave on wave,
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah
Am I the one you were sent to save?

You came upon me wave on wave.

I wondered out into the water,
And I thought that I might drown.
I dunno what I was after,
I just know I was going down.

That's when she found me,
I'm not afraid anymore.
she said"You know I always had you baby,
Just waitin for you to find what you were looking for.

You came upon me wave on wave,
You're the reason I'm still here.
Am I the one you were sent to save,
When you came upon me wave on wave.

Wave on wave.
Wave on wave.


And you came upon me wave on wave,
You're the reason I'm still here.
Am I the one you were sent to save,
when you came upon me wave on wave.
The clouds broke and the angels cried,
You ain't gotta walk alone,
That's why he put me in your way, 

And you came upon me wave on wave.
