Tears

This song reduced me to tears tonight.

Something is wrong.

I spent the whole day just wanting to crawl back in bed, I felt like crying every time I tried to talk, and... something is just wrong. I was sitting in the living room listening to music on my headphones with the little dog on my lap and this song, about half way through, hit a nerve. I think it's because of the hard times Austin and I are going through, the deep and abiding sense of struggle that is required to even hold on to our relationship in the midst of so much hurt and confusion and stress. We are both so raw and angry and vulnerable... It only takes one true believer to believe we can still beat the odds. I have to believe that. Otherwise what else do I have?

Heart of the World 
Lady Antebellum

Tin cans on rattlin' pavement
Confetti scattered everywhere
She falls asleep in the seat beside me
Rice caught up in her hair
I don't mind it, I keep drivin',
Flying on these wheels of steel
A bit anxious, a bit nervous
The moment's all that we can feel

If oil is the soul of the engine
And wine is the drink of the Gods
Forgiveness the road to redemption
Faith can still beat the odds
We're meant to be baby hold on to me
You'll never not be my girl
'Cause love is the heart of the world

I leave him sleepin' as I rise early
Always up before the dawn
The house is dark, but I see clearly
Kettle sings a morning song
The bacon's frying, babies crying
I soak up the sights and sounds
Minutes turn to days and I wish that I could slow it down

If grease is the soul of the kitchen
And coffee the drink of the Gods
Routine too perfect to mention
Time is a thief I would rob
We're meant to be baby hold onto me
I'll never not be your girl
'Cause love is the heart of the world

Oh, and hope is the soul of the dreamer
And heaven is the home of my God
It only takes one true believer
To believe you can still beat the odds

We're meant to be baby hold onto me
You'll never not be my girl (I'll never not be your girl)
'Cause love is the heart, love is the heart,
Love is the heart of the world
