Life Goes On

The 80's just oozed cheese, so in that respect I can't totally dismiss them outright. Apart from the start of true "hair metal" we saw a few good rock bands actually go mainstream and while many may consider it selling out, heck you gotta pay the bills somehow.

I for some reason have, this morning got "Life Goes On" stuck in my head. You couldn't ever really call Poison anything more than a "pretty boy rock band" but hey for some strange reason they sneak into my playlist every time (then again so does Britney).

I'm still not sure why I have this in my head but as the saying goes tell someone and for some reason you pass it on. Then again it could simply be the line, "And this last mile, I travel with you" that is pounding away inside my head. Often people forget that the first step is the hardest but the last possibly the scariest in many ways. Ultimately I'll take that last step with you.

I felt this before
Now I feel it again
No matter how hard I try
This feeling won't end

So I, pretend you're here by my side
Tonight on this lonely ride
I keep telling myself that

Life goes on while you're miles away
And I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
There's nothing I can do

You healed up my wounds
I tasted your tears
You spilled out your heart
So I let out my fears

But one fear I kept to myself
How I prayed that you'd love no one else
Like you're saying you love me

Life goes on while you're miles away
And I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
There's nothing I can do

If you only knew how much I miss you

Solo

When my mind plays these tricks on me
It shows me things I don't want to see
That's why I tell myself now
I keep tellin' myself now
Just take another piece of me

Life goes on while you're miles away
And I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
There's nothing I can do

Love goes on, you're still miles away
And I miss you

And this last mile, I travel with you

As time rolls on there really is little we can do to stop it. Much like you can't stop the ocean reaching the shore, or the sun rise in the morning. All we can do is to continue to take those steps ensuring that we're there for each other over that last mile.
