Dan Rivers - What Is And What Could Be

from In Another Voice by James Tristan Redding

about

Co-written by Dan Rivers and James Tristan Redding.

lyrics

If you're fixed on takin' off that ring
Guess I'll take mine off too
The moving truck took everything
Everything except the truth

Things are gonna' change for us
Kids will have to learn my new address
Every other weekend ain't enough
But I'll take what I can get

There's a lesson in the losin' and a grace in each goodbye
Bittersweet like all things human we can't know until we try
Sometimes I don't see it comin' other times it's outta' reach
Ain't we all in search of something between what is and what could be

After all the wishing and the waiting
Then the walking out
Somehow I quit the chasing
Grabbed a hold of here and now

There's no island I can run to
No place to get away
But the sun will rise tomorrow
If I make it through today

There's a lesson in the losin' and a grace in each goodbye
Bittersweet like all things human we can't know until we try
Sometimes I don't see it comin' other times it's outta' reach
Ain't we all in search of something between what is and what could be
