  • So I found another song that made me tear up a little D:
    "Slip Sliding Away" by Paul Simon.
    I'm..not entirely sure why. It's just sort of bittersweet, and it struck a chord today.
    I'm a bit odd I guess?

    Quote:
    CHORUS:
    Slip slidin’ away
    Slip slidin’ away
    You know the nearer your destination
    The more you’re slip slidin’ away

    I know a man
    He came from my home town
    He wore his passion for his woman
    Like a thorny crown
    He said Delores
    I live in fear
    My love for you’s so overpowering
    I’m afraid that I will disappear

    I know a woman
    Became a wife
    These are the very words she uses
    To describe her life
    She said a good day
    Ain’t got no rain
    She said a bad day’s when I lie in bed
    And think of things that might have been

    And I know a father
    Who had a son
    He longed to tell him all the reasons
    For the things he’d done
    He came a long way
    Just to explain
    He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
    Then he turned around and headed home again

    God only knows
    God makes his plan
    The information’s unavailable
    To the mortal man
    We work our jobs
    Collect our pay
    Believe we’re gliding down the highway
    When in fact we’re slip slidin’ away
