Kristen Graves - guitar & voice

i don't want to hurt you
i don't want to make you cry
i don't want to think i deserve you
pulling dreams right out of the sky

i know there's something else for me
i know it's got to be
i know i need to stay free
free

sitting here thinking about you
knowing i've made you mad
sitting here i don't know what to do
dwelling on what we've had

i know there's nothing better than this
i know paradise exists
i know what i must miss
to stay free

sometimes you've got to give up what you've got
knowing there's a better plan
these times i figure out the road i'm on
and where i stand

i know there's nothing better than this
i know paradise exists
i know what i must miss
to stay free

i don't want to change you
i cannot make you mine
i don't want to think i deserve you
i know better than to ask why

i know there's something else for me
i know it's got to be
i know i need to stay free
free
free
 

There is a time for everything. Sometimes patience is my worst enemy. Though it seems that a situation is perfect I often discover that I am not yet ready to remain in the place where I so desperately believe I want to be. This song is about embracing change and understanding that my time in paradise will come.
