Fast
That's the kind of car you wanna drive when you're sixteen
Fast
That's the kind of boys that you want on your home team
Fast
Yeah, you think you're gonna catch your big dreams just like that
Fast
And here you are, looking back

Sixty seconds now feels more like thirty
Tick-tock, won't stop, and round it goes
Sand through the glass sure falls in a hurry
And all you keep trying to do is slow it down, soak it in
Keep trying to make the good times last as long as you can
But you can't, man
It just goes too fast

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away?

'Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth everything's different, there's an emptiness

Oh-oh, I,
I hope you're dancing in the sky
I hope you're singing in the angel's choir
I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived

# data[].attributes.body
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
A-roundin' third and headed for home
It's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield

# data[].attributes.body
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

# data[].attributes.body
When you're weak, I'll be strong
When you let go, I'll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear
That I'll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can't take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it.

# data[].attributes.body
When you get your heart broke, they're there for your worst year
Don't get you at all, but your apple don't fall too far from 'em
They own too much wicker and drink too much liquor
You'd wash your hands of them, but blood's always thicker
You might look just like 'em; that don't mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em

Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family

They're there when you're married, divorced, and remarried
You fall out of touch, but then someone gets buried
And you're right back together like no time has ever gone by
Can't live with or without 'em; you might talk about 'em
But if someone else does, well, then you'll knock 'em out cause
When it's all said and done, they're the only ones that you got

Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family

Yeah, family is funny, they'll ask you for money
Even though they know you ain't got no money
They show up at Christmas, get up in your business
They might not be fancy, but family is family

You might look just like 'em; that don't mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em

The song Good Riddance steps right in front of me at this moment in my life.  High school and school in general seems like it lasts forever, but as I reflect on the past 14 years, I wonder where the time has gone.  The lyrics “I hope you had the time of your life” means to me that you should live life to its fullest while you have time to do it.  I’ve grown up and done things that I maybe would have never done, but now, here I am and I’m glad that I did them.  Growing up to be an adult, you realize that you don't have time for all of the little fun activities because you have responsibilities now and you have to do those before you can do other things.  This song means a lot to me.

The song Dancing in the Sky is very near and dear to my heart.  That is, because losing loved ones is not the easiest.  This song means something for more than just one loved one.  Losing grandparents and close relatives is not easy for me.  In 2008, losing my grandmother was one of the hardest things I’d ever experienced.  Not only because it was my first grandparent that had passed, but because I wished I had gotten the chance to know her better.  Losing my grandfather in 2015 from cancer was not easy either, I wasn’t expecting it to be as heartbreaking as it was.  I wasn’t as close to him as I am my other grandfather, and I definitely regret that, but I wish that any day at any time I could ask them what it’s like up there, and how they’re doing.  I can’t do that, though.  This song really touches my heart in many many ways.

Even though the song Centerfield is about baseball, and not softball, it still means something to me.  Softball has been my passion for over eight years now, and I work hard year round to make sure that I am the best that I can possibly be.  No, it’s not the most athletic sport, but I work hard on the pitching mound to be the heart of my softball team.  Where it says, “Put me in coach, I’m ready to play”, that is me 100%.  I’ll play anywhere in the field just to get playing time.  When you have a passion for something, you do your best to fulfill that dream or wish.  I wish that I can be the best player possible, and I want to make my teammates happy to have me on their team.

The song Fast is a song that I never really took the time to listen to, and that’s because I don't prefer Luke Bryan.  Now that I’ve looked at the lyrics, I realize that it is a song that can mean a whole lot to me.  The time has gone by so fast, and you don't realize that it does.  Just to think that I am graduating high school this year, but it only feels like 6 years ago that I was going into middle school and thought that I was getting old.  This song can hit like a ton of bricks, and that's because all of the lyrics that are in this song makes sense. “Sixty seconds down feels more like thirty. Tick tock, won’t stop, and round it goes.”  Those song lyrics make a lot of sense when you think about growing up.  We take time for granted and really shouldn’t. Fast is a great example of taking things for granted and not realizing that we are growing up.

I Hope You Dance is a song that has only come into play in the past year and a half.  Even though she is really my boyfriend’s niece, she really is mine too.  I was there when she was born, I see her practically every day, and I love her with all my heart.  “I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.  Never settle for the path of least resistance.”  Those two sentences are meaningful to me because I really hope that she never fears the future and what is ahead of her in life. I hope to be her role model, and of course, her favorite “aunt”. Addison has become a big part of my life in the past year and a half and she will most definitely impact my life ahead of me.

I’m Gonna Love You Through It is a very meaningful song for people who have loved ones with a sickness. This song directly points at my grandfather, who is 73 and has Renal Cell Cancer.  He has undergone three major surgeries in the past two years, and has been a fighter through them all.  “When you’re weak, I’ll be strong, when you let go, I’ll hold on.” These lyrics I’m sure not only mean a lot to me, but also my other close family members.  Having a close loved one battling cancer is not easy.  He is strong, and no matter what, I’m going to love him through it. He is my one and only grandfather left, so I am spending as much time as I can with him because time is priceless.  This song is very special to me.

Kacey Musgraves’ song Family is Family reminds me a whole lot of my family. They are kind of quirky, but still very loving. The song basically talks about your family being there for you no matter what you’ve done, no matter where you are in life, and no matter who you are.  My family is exactly that.  Though they may not support it if I get a sleeve of tattoos on my arm, but they aren’t going to dislike me.  My aunts and uncles, sister, parents, grandparents, and even cousins are the best that there could be, and I’m so grateful for that. I love them, and they love me. This song is sort of funny in a way, and my family is goofy.  It makes a complete connection to my family.  Family is Family made me realize that I have the best family in the world, and the song makes perfect sense to me.

When darkness falls upon your heart and soul.
I'll be the light that shines for you.
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you.
When you can't find your way,
I'll find my way to you.
When troubles come around,
I will come to you.

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.

And when you're there with no one there to hold.
I'll be the arms that reach for you.
And when you feel your faith is running low.
I'll be there to believe in you.
When all you find are lies.
I'll be the truth you need.
When you need someone to run to .
You can run to me

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.

I'll be the sun.
When your heart's filled with rain.
I'll be the one.
To chase the rain away.

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
I'll be.

I’ll Be is a song that I had never really heard before, but now that I have, I love it.  It represents all of the true values that belong in a friendship.  My best friend hasn’t been my best friend since diapers, but that doesn’t even matter because she is the only one who has been true to me no matter what has been put on my plate.  Yes, we’ve fought, but we always forgive each other, and that's because we truly love each other for who we are. “I’ll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.” This is a great sentence to describe two people who really care about each other as friends.  I know that I always have her there for me even if it’s three in the morning.  Some people don’t realize what it is like to have someone who truly cares about your life and makes sure that everything is going good for you.  I love that about my best friend, and even most of my other friends.  This song truly defines what a true friend is.

This collage of photos shows what I truly love in life, and what means something to me in life. Softball is a huge part of my growing up. Traveling and just going for walks to clear my mind, and also to do things while I can is something else that explains my soundtrack in a tremendous way.
