There was something there...

In anticipation of my next post, I wanted to share the following song by Maria Taylor. I have my wife to thank for introducing me to this beautiful song, which pretty much perfectly captures how we both like to remember our (all too brief) years at Penn State. Up next I'll be talking about why it was necessary to move on and to change but, until then, enjoy the nostalgia...


Lyrics for Two of Those Too 
by Maria Taylor
There was a time two fearless minds
Well we packed up for a new place
A college town with a musical sound
And everyone had a new face
There was something there
Maybe it was the trees
Or the flowery air
Or that everyone seemed so glad
They were there
And we were two of those too
We were two of those too

We got a house in between a homeless shelter
And a coffee shop
We painted the walls until we couldn't reach
I said, "It looks cool this way, let's stop."

There were always people there
Maybe it was the music
We played on the record player
Or that everyone seemed so glad
They were there
And we were two of those too
We were two of those too

And those were the times
The quietest days
We'll sit and smile and remember
Nothing could feel the same
We were so free
We were in each passing second

And you can't sustain anything
Everything must change
So be thankful for everything
And I am
I am
I am
