Follow Your Heart
By: Jason RobinsonI can tell by the tingle in my left arm.
Won't call it spider sense,
I know what broke out the cage and probably hopped the fence.
Thought it'd learn to heel by now,
who am I to blame, when I never taught it how.
Time to break out the leash,
keep it in reach.
Better yet, lock it up, and throw away the key.
People love to say, "Follow your heart."
like some simple walk in the park.
Are we talking Central after dark?
My heart had a head start.
Stepping left and right over feelings that were hurt,
obvious signs it was dragged through the dirt.
Clock is counting down for me to get it back,
but this is what it sounds like when hearts attack.
It couldn't gotten far.
I reach for my key, and jump into my car.
To think it's on these streets,
what a sick game of hide and go seek.
It's gonna sound so wrong,
if I say these words with a heartless tone.
So please come home,
back with me where you belong.
People love to say, "Follow your heart."
like some simple walk in the park.
Are we talking Central after dark?
My heart had a head start.
Stepping left and right over feelings that were hurt,
obvious signs it was dragged through the dirt.
Clock is counting down for me to get it back,
but this is what it sounds like when hearts attack.
People love to say, "Follow your heart."
like some simple walk in the park.
So follow, is exactly what I did.
It took me off the grid.
Found traces of my heart,
What tore it apart?
Why it ran and hid?
Help me, God forbid.
That the traces of my heart,
Lead back to the start.
Sound Advice
My love and fascination of music drew me to music composition. Combined with the joy of thoroughly communicating my feelings and thoughts, songwriting became something I wanted to share with others. The chance that others might identify with my personal experiences and observations while nodding or singing along, and the prospect of having someone's attention for a couple of minutes, and possibly impacting them positively for a lifetime. These were my motivations for recording Sound Advice.
