Lyrics Emery – 2007 Clarksville High Volleyball State Champs Gay is OK

I saw your car down on the street
I hoped your day would lead you right to me
But if I know that it surely does
So maybe it’s best to keep space between us

You saw that thing we felt in the moment
We both would share that danger until
I was caught, caught between joy and judgment
But now I know what it’s like to be alone

You said you wanted, you said you wanted everything
But I ain’t got it, I can’t be the one to leave
You told me it was as simple as the golden rule

You saw that fear we felt in this moment
(I made mistakes in believing)
We both would share that danger until
(I made the wrong choice most every time)
I was caught, caught between joy and judgment
(Ten thousand reasons in a small town)
But now I know
(But now I know)

And where do you think we should go
(And I can’t ask why)
Where do you think we could go
(And I can’t ask why)
Where do you think we should go
(And I can’t ask why)
Where could we go
(And I can’t ask why)

Momma said that’s not the way it goes
Daddy said that’s not the life we chose
Momma said and Daddy said

You know, in my eyes I never blamed them
They were just trying to figure out life, same with me
I know it must’ve been hard to hear those words come out of my mouth
I knew what it meant, same as them
I was broken, deformed even
I might as well have a sign and chain around my neck
It was going to be a hard rest of my life
That was plain to see
But who’s to say what true love is or what love looks like?
I don’t even think I could tell you
I don’t even think I could tell you exactly what love is

Is this true, is this true love?
What is real, what is real love?
If I’m wrong, tell me from above
If I’m wrong, tell me who to love
