Get On

Well I've clearly gone blog-happy now that I have my laptop back, reunited at last :) And, I finally made use of my spendy Best Buy warranty. I finally had a hardware issue that they could fix, FOR FREE and it felt oh so good, to hear that the repair would have cost me $757.14. Holy moly, I do not have that kind of money and let's be honest, I would have thrown in the towel at that point and gotten a new laptop of the apple variety. Anyhoodles, I have been listening to Late Tuesday non-stop lately. They are my life music. I swear they have a song for every life situation and this is the one I find myself in currently. Sometimes, just the assurance that someone has been through it before is all I need to keep going, to get on.

Get On-Late Tuesday

You fall for someone for some reason
And you share a bit of life and you love them
And you want them to sit down and stay awhile
What’s more, you take a liking to them
And they sweeten up your days
You start to fancy that it’s best this way

Ah darn it, now I loved ‘em but it’s not all up to me
If it’s not right, then it’s not right to worry
Cause life has a way of shaking things up a bit at times
And so you learn how to say goodbye

So it’s time now to get on
I can see now that they’re gone
That they were good and I learned what I needed
But they were never mine
So I admit to those things and get on

I’ve got stories to remind me and I probably won’t forget
And I miss them and I trust that there are better things ahead
Cause, though I have loved some good ones,
I know I’ve just begun to get a handle on how to love

So it’s time now to get on
I can see now that they’re gone
That they were good and I learned what I needed
But they were never mine
So I admit to those things and get on

Life has a way of shaking things up a bit at times
And so you learn how to say goodbye

(Life has a way of shaking up, I love them and I lose them, I miss them and I say goodbye)
(It’s time to get on, they’re good, now they’re gone)
