Some thoughts on feelings...

This Feeling {Alabama Shakes}

"I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping The way would become clear I spent all this time tryna play nice and Fight my way hereSee, I've been having me a real hard time But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

So I just kept dreaming, yeah, I just kept dreaming It wasn't very hard I spent all this time tryna figure out why Nobody on my side

See, I've been having me a real god time And it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

So please don't take my feelings I have found at last So please don't take my feelings I have found at last Yeah, if I wanted to... I'd be alright

So I just kept going, I just kept going And hoping I'm growing near Well this good and fine, I spent all this time Tryna find my way here

And I've been having me a real fun time And it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

Please don't take this feeling I have found at last Please don't take my feeling I have found at last If I wanted to, I'd be alright Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright"

In feelings,
