Actually, on second thought, this song might be better called “what I know.” Maybe. maybe not. two things sounds cooler.
Okay this song is sorta about the difference between where you are and where you are going. Life is both, isn’t that odd? Dissatisfaction with where you are – its natural, and sortof annoying. And what happens when you emphasize the one over the other, as I often do? What I mean by all that is happiness is both the easiest and hardest thing to find. It’s always there, all you have to do is be satisfied with your life. That doesn’t seem that hard or that bad, and you can do it anytime… But we don’t, or at least I don’t. Its “the grass is greener” all over again. Its so hard for me to be content with anything, and couple that with the fact that I’m a worrier and… well, you get songs like this.
Two Things
Copyright (C) 2007 Matthew C Good
oh dear
its all that i have
it’s not much
but its all that i have
oh my lord
could it be so simple?
it’s enough
and it’s all that I have
I have flown like pinwheels,
my tin wings turned to dust
there are only two things
that I have come to trust
They are contradicting but
they both are true enough
to stand alone
it’s what I know
don’t you think
that somewhere else is better
don’t you know
your head is a liar
life is a journey
its a river we must cross
but we are standing on both sides
of this paradox
Cuz we’re always going somewhere
but we’re aching to get lost
we’re staring out the window
adding up the cost,
and we are missing out.

No bass on this one, specifically so that Ian McD won’t have to listen to my drivel when he lays down his crazy-insane mad skills. Sorento didn’t sound good on this one for some reason, so its the yamaha. man I love all things yamaha.
