lyrics

I hope you feel this message
I'm sending you tonight
I hope that you are living
Hope you are alright
I wish that I could call you
See if you're okay
I find it hard to feel safe
When I'm away

Since our country's been at war
I've been really scared
I never understood it before
I never really cared

But in the last year I've come around
I'd like to live
I'd like to live with you
In a nice house
Learn to feel
Learn to give
Make some plans for the future
Actually care whether I live or die
Allow you to be important
Let me be satisfied

I've made some plans for the future
I've had some dreams about the future
We have a life
And there's a war on

I hope you feel this message
I'm sending you tonight
I hate that we are separated
I hope you are all right
I hate that life is so uncertain
I hope we die together
Holding hands and making plans for our
Afterlife together
Being sweet
Being brave
Not afraid to die
Holding hands and making plans for our
Afterlife
Together

about

The Gretchen Phillips Xperience Austin, Texas

I got your lezzie rock right here! Since 1984, keeping it real in Austin, TX. What do I mean by "real"? Transgressive, literate, unapologetic, and unafraid. Plus fun. Don't forget fun. Even when it's sad, let's look for the fun.
