Song for Aimee (by G. Wade)
(Who's Aimee?  SHUT UP!  That's who!)
--------------
(just by) looking at your picture
i can see your pain
i can feel it in every note you're playing

and i know you realize now
not everything makes sense
breaking up is so much harder than breaking out

  you work a long time
  to get out of the rut you're in
  and surprises come and go along the way
  and it only takes a moment
  to get back to where you've been
    but you try as hard as you can
    for_ as long as you can
    and just say_ someday...

you may think it's strange
but i know how you felt
spending so much time trying to make something of yourself

and i know how you feel (right now)
when you hit a blockade
but you move the barriers and go on with the best
  of the rest_ of your life

  you work a long time
  to get out of the rut you're in
  and surprises come and go along the way
  and it only takes a moment
  to get back to where you've been
    but you try as hard as you can
    for_ as long as you can
    and just say_ someday...

most of us won't make it
but we'll die trying anyway
and the rest of us are thankful
for how high we've gotten to go

and it's nice (to be) at the high points
but we've got to understand
regression is so much easier
and we should know_

  you work a long time
  to get out of the rut you're in
  and surprises come and go along the way
  and it only takes a moment
  to get back to where you've been
    but you try as hard as you can
    for_ as long as you can
    and just say_ someday...

      and i know a little hard work
      can always get your further
      but we wish that we knew when
         in the meantime
         we can only try again

      and i know a little hard life
      can only hurt the easiest people
      it can only show us more
         in the meantime
         we get stronger than before
                stronger than before

  you work a long time
  to get out of the rut you're in
  and surprises come and go along the way
  and it only takes a moment
  to get back to where you've been
    but you try as hard as you can
    for_ as long as you can
    and just say_ someday...
