Whenever You're Ready

What are these teardrops

That are falling at my door?

You tell me that you've had it

You can't take it anymore

 

Come in, have a cup of coffee

And stay for a little while

Did I tell you, by the way

That I really miss your smile

 

Whenever you're ready

You can let it all go

Whenever you're ready

Trust me you will know

No more smoke and mirrors

Just take it slow and steady

And I'll be here for you

Whenever you're ready

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't mean to lose your cool

He took the rug from under you

Left you feeling like a fool

I've been in your shoes

And I know them all too well

It's a rough and rocky road

Feels like you've been to hell [but...]

Whenever you're ready

You can let it all go

Whenever you're ready

Trust me you will know

No more smoke and mirrors

Just take it slow and steady

And I'll be here for you

Whenever you're ready

Don't try to force it

It will happen on its own

There's beauty even in pain

And I'm here to let you know

Whenever you're ready

You can let it all go

Whenever you're ready

Trust me you will know

No more smoke and mirrors

Just take it slow and steady

And I'll be here for you

Whenever you're ready

This song actually surprised me, in that it took me quite a few days to finish. I wrote the first verse and chorus, and didn't know where to take the song. So, I put it down for almost 2 weeks, came back and found the inspiration to finish it. It's the first song that I didn't finish in a matter of minutes. I guess it's a metaphor for life. Things don't always happen at the snap of fingers like we want them to, but everything comes around in its own time. Hope you enjoy!
