Have you ever felt raindrops race tears down your face
Got thrown out of a heart without leaving a trace
Been convinced all you are's a complete waste of space
Found yourself in a world of fright
Have you ever been so low above lies the floor
Self imploded from trying to stifle your roar
Suffered all you can take then return for some more
Booked the flight when you know you should fight
Have you ever been willing unable to dare
Suffocated by breathing in putrified air
Bought the cushion to match your electrified chair
Plugged it in settling down for the night
Have you ever been in the wrong place the wrong time
When all reason is lost all that's left is the rhyme
Digging out of the basement with mountains to climb
Shook off feelings still tourniquet tight
Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand
To a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand
Instantly you'd receive the respect you command
On our first fated magical night

Being human, we tend to push the bounderies, and that usually brings its own problems.
Mind you, sometimes being in the wrong place can change your life for the good.
Usually you just get shot though.
Lol
Ain't that the truth Paul
