    Does anyone else just get these memories of all the things you did, relationships you had, ups & downs, trials and tribulations when you listen to Damon sing on songs like this ?
    What an amazing life we have. I'm so grateful I'm only 25 and I can enjoy so much that's ahead of me. Times have been dark for me in recent years but the fleeting moments of happiness in time is what we live for. Every happy moment we have in this existence should be cherished so dearly. I've had an uneasy relationship with my dad in recent times. I'm gonna talk to my dad tomorrow hopefully it's a good day.

    feel safe in your sleeping tonight
    I won't kill myself, trying to stay in your life
    I got no distance left to run
    When you see me
    Please turn your back and walk away
    I don't want to see you
    'Cause I know the dreams that you keep is wearing me
    When your coming down, think of me here
    I got no distance left to run
    It's over, I knew it would end this way
    I hope you're with someone who makes you feel
    That this life is the night
    And it settles down, stays around
    Spends more time with you

    Coming home

    I really like this version of the song. I've had a depressive disorder for 3 years and I'm suffering from a particularly big problem these days. But still, when I listen to this, I feel like there will be always a clear sky (and might be a rainbow too) after every heavily pouring rain. It helps me a lot.
