hello again Heather!!!  this is very soft and subtle.  the change at "are you anxious" is just brilliant.  I got struck by that but I'd love if the guitar was louder and more powerful to REALLY punctuate that wonderful melodic move.  the lyricism ....of course, as always, is world class.  amazing.

So soothing, almost like a whisper! Love the journey, as I'm understanding, from divorce to finding new love. Something many of us can relate to. Great melody here too!

Better Now

And so it begins
A blank page & a new ink pen.
You wake up and you try again.
A quiet prayer before a meal
You turn the key behind the wheel.
And so it begins.

F C F E
Are you anxious or excited holding breath?
You can’t believe you haven’t done this yet.

And so it begins 
turn the calendar to a new page.
You walk cap and ground across the stage.
A conductor raises their baton.
You flip the switch and turn it on.
And so it begins.

Is there tension in your shoulders or your jaw?
Are you ready for what you dreamed of for so long?

And so it begins.
You open eyes at break of day 
A chicken lays a brand new egg.
You sign a legal document. 
A letter finally is sent.
And so it begins.

All you have to do is take a step.
The momentum of that choice will lead you to the next.

And so it begins.
A gunshot at the starting line.
You meet her gaze for the first time
A seed pokes leaves up through the dirt.
You say yes afraid of getting hurt.
And so it begins.
And so it begins.
And so it begins.
And so it begins

So it Begins

Headlights
Teardrops in your eyes
I'm frozen in time
I'm fine
But I signed With my blood
On the dotted line
Never made it to the other side

I'm flying highways in
The dark of night again
Free me from my mind

And so it begins
Never know how it ends
Wrote a letter to a long lost friend
That I'll never send
And so it begins

I'm patchwork
Show you where it hurts
Cause it hurts all over
Big love
Big love cheap champagne
Come back home again
Cause I miss ya

I'm flying highways in
The dark of night again
Free me from my mind

And so it begins
Don't know how it ends Wrote
A letter to a long lost friend
And so it begins

How long
How long can I wait around
For a telephone on a tin can to ring
I cut that string
Won't ever ring again
How long can I wait around

I'm flying highways in
The dark of night again
Free me from my mind

And so it begins
Don't know how it ends Wrote
A letter to a long lost friend
That I'll never send
I tore it up and tossed it in the kitchen sink
I set it on fire
So I could breath it in
Oh and I breathed it in
I like it better when your around
I like it better when your here

So It Begins

Pulse of This Town (Threadgill's)

The neon's been buzzing about 40 years
Up on North Lamar Boulevard
Old No. 1 had a ring to our ears
We were coming from near and from far

Park in the back hear the dining room roar
Melinda will find you a chair
10 bucks for music past the old wooden door
And they'll bring you your cornbread and beer

Scotch tape on posters of who's next to play
Next to Janis's wide open smile
That old neon star will keep hummin' and buzzin'
In the pulse of this town for a long long while
In the pulse of this town for a while

It's bitter and sweet how a gas station bar
Made its history under the lights
Now the marquee is empty and the question hits hard
What will we do with our Wednesday nights?
What will we do with our Wednesday nights?

Scotch tape on posters of who's next to play
Next to Janis's wide open smile
That old neon star will keep hummin' and buzzin'
In the pulse of this town for a long long while
In the pulse of this town for a while

So it Begins
