Learning to live again
I haven’t looked forward to a night out like I am now in…years?
I burned my hand, I cut my face
Heaven knows how long it’s been
Since I’ve felt so out of place
I’m wonderin’ if I’ll fit in
Debbie and Charley said they’d be here by nine
And Deb said she might bring a friend
Just my luck, they’re right on time
So here I go again
I’m gonna smile my best smile
And I’m gonna laugh like it’s going out of style
Look into her eyes and pray that she don’t see
That learning to live again is killing me
Little cafe, table for four
But there’s just conversation for three
I like the way she let me get the door
I wonder what she thinks of me
Debbie just whispered, “You’re doin’ fine”
And I wish that I felt the same
She’s asked me to dance, now her hand’s in mine
Oh, my god, I’ve forgotten her name
But I’m gonna smile my best smile
And I’m gonna laugh like it’s going out of style
Look into her eyes and pray that she don’t see
That learning to live again is killing me
Now here we are beneath her porch light
And I say what a great time it’s been
A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight
And I say, “can I see you again”
And she just smiles her best smile
And she laughs like it’s going out of style
Looks into my eyes and says, “We’ll see”
Oh this learning to live again is killing me
God this learning to live again is killing me
-Learning to Live Again, Garth Brooks

I have no idea who you are but, I love you. I’ve been searching for the author of that damn song for awhile now. Amazing how I stumbled across someone’s journal and found out but, couldn’t find out by using lyric search engines. Thanks.

…Yeah. Me again and holy shit. I just heard that song about a week ago. I thought it had just come out.
