Song of the Day – Sarah Bettens “Follow Me”

February 4th, 2009

Sarah Bettens “Follow Me” (can’t stream the song, but there’s a video of it being performed live)

Someday I’ll stop trying and I’ll know
how much time I’ve wasted always wanting more
I doubt you’ll end up where you need to be with me
I tend to run in circles, wallowing in my own sea
I can run and play and dive into the ocean
I can touch the sand and feel it slip away

You could follow me,
I don’t know where I’m going
you could follow me
You could follow me,
it might not be the smartest thing to do
but you could follow me…

I want you to be happier than me
I’m a poor example of a carefree human being
Here’s a list of things I wish to be
your pillow and your blanket
and your life time guarantee
I can love you all the way across the ocean
I doubt that that will ever go away

You could follow me,
I don’t know where I’m going
you could follow me
You could follow me,
it might not be the smartest thing to do
but you could follow me…

If I ever stop believing there’s a reason for my life,
I might as well stop trying to make
sense of what is right,
you could follow me…

You could follow me,
I don’t know where I’m going
you could follow me
You could follow me,
it might not be the smartest thing to do
but you should follow me
