I Had to Trust

I had to trust that I would wake up that morning and be ready to go.
I had to trust that the long car ride would be fun.
I had to trust that my CD's wouldn't melt or something in the hot car.
I had to trust the waist deep seaweed would end once I got deeper.
I had to trust that the ocean wouldn't try to kill me.
I had to trust to take chances.
I had to trust that those chances would work out right.
And in the moments that I let go and leaped into a world of nothing but chances, a bit of recklessness here and there,
I had to give it all my trust.
And those are the moments I'll remember years from now.

    Wrap our arms around each other and walk down the street.
    Someday I’ll have a special name, that only you call me,
    Something that makes me smile,

    Always something

    It's always got to be something.
    That one thing that takes the wind out from under your wings making you tremble,
    and fall.
    And it's always the something you generally expect,
    But hoped wouldn't happen.
