Grateful For Music Challenge Day 26

Song(s): That's All I Know So Far & Grow As We Go

Artist(s): P!nk & The Piano Guys feat. Mat & Savanna Shaw

Today I feel: anxious, embarrassed, stupid, awkward, fat, ugly and guilty. Why I can't break this negative thought cycle when I'm with these particular family members is discouraging and depressing. I know it's all in my head and I do it all to myself. I miss my dog.

That's All I Know So Far

I really love this new song from P!nk. I heard in an interview that she wrote this as a love letter to her daughter which I found to be really sweet. The lyrics are relatable for me right now. I'm still learning, growing and trying to change and be better.

I haven't always been this way

I wasn't born a renegade

I felt alone, still feel afraid

I stumble through it anyway

I wish someone would've told me that this life is ours to choose

No one's handing you the keys or a book with all the rules

The little that I know I'll tell to you

When they dress you up in lies and you're left naked with the truth

You throw your head back

And you spit in the wind

Let the walls crack

'Cause it lets the light in

Let 'em drag you through hell

They can't tell you to change who you are

That's all I know so far

That's all I know so far

So you might give yourself away, yeah

And pay full price for each mistake

But when the candy coating hides the razor blade

You can cut yourself loose and use that rage

I wish someone would've told me that this darkness comes and goes

People will pretend but, baby girl, nobody knows

And even I can't teach you how to fly

But I can show you how to live like your life is on the line

You throw your head back

And you spit in the wind

Let the walls crack

'Cause it lets the light in

Let 'em drag you through hell

They can't tell you to change who you are

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

I will be with you till the world blows up, yes

Up and down and through till the world blows up, yeah

Just throw your head back

And spit in the wind

Let the walls crack

'Cause it lets the light in

Let 'em drag you through hell

They can't tell you to change who you are

And when the storm's out

You'll run in the rain

Put your sword down

Dive right into the pain

Stay unfiltered and loud

You'll be proud of that skin full of scars

That's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

That's all I know, that's all I know so far

I will be with you till the world blows up

Grow As We Go

I saw this on youtube a couple days ago and thought it was so sweet. Especially all the father-daughter duets that take place in the video. The lyrics are inspirational. And I need all the inspiration I can get now more than ever before. This is a cover of the song, the original by Ben Platt (included below).

You say there's so much you don't know

You need to go and find yourself

You say you'd rather be alone

'Cause you think you won't find it tied to someone else

Who said it's true,

That the growing only happens on your own?

They don't know me and you

I don't think you have to leave

If to change is what you need

You can change right next to me

When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow

And we'll take it slow

And grow as we go, ooh

Grow as we go, ooh

You won't be the only one

I am unfinished, I've got so much left to learn

I don't know how this river runs

But I'd like the company through every twist and turn

Who said it's true,

That the growing only happens on your own?

They don't know me and you

You don't ever have to leave

If to change is what you need

You can change right next to me

When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow

And we'll take it slow

And grow as we go, ooh

And grow as we go, ooh

And grow as we go, ooh

And grow as we go, ooh

I don't know who we'll become

I can't promise it's not written in the stars

But I believe that when it's done

We're gonna see that it was better

That we grew up together

Tell me you don't wanna leave

'Cause if change is what you need

You can change right next to me

When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow

And we'll take it slow

And grow as we go, oh

And grow as we go, oh

And grow as we go, oh

And grow as we go, ooh
