"Nearest Distant Shore"What is the point of this post and this song by Trisha Yearwood? I've been trying my best to get perspective on how I feel about the situation as it stands today in my personal life and I came across an FB post from a friend that spoke about a past love and referenced a Trisha Yearwood song to illustrate her feelings about this past relationship. I thought i'd do that same.
You fight for every breath
Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect
The one you swore to love is pulling you down
You're in over your head
Chilled to the bone by the waters you've tread
Chart a course to land, before you drown
Swim to the nearest distant shore
There's only so much a heart can endure
You gave it your best, forgive yourself
You can't hold on anymore
It's not as far as it might seem
Now it's time to let go of old dreams
Every heart for itself
Swim to the nearest distant shore
He said for you he'd change
Then he'd let you down and watch you take the blame
You're trapped between his lies and the great unknown
You vowed you would not fail
But this ain't success it's a living hell
There's nothing left to lose, you're already alone
Swim to the nearest distant shore
There's only so much a heart can endure
You gave it your best, forgive yourself
You can't hold on anymore
It's not as far as it might seem
Now it's time to let go of old dreams
Every heart for itself
Swim to the nearest distant shore
I've known this song since my high school years but I admit, the meaning and lyrics of the song didn't resonate as much as they did when I entered my 30's. I think it's fitting to look at this and listen to this song again at this time in my life. At the very least, it serves as a reminder of realities that sometimes get covered up by emotions that come out in the heat of the moment.
