Thought That Counts
Navigating Life's Challenges: A Musical Journey by Matthew Clanton
Lyrics
I’m shedding tears in the driveway
I am crying in the driveway.
Feels like my car is my safe space
My car feels like a safe and comforting space for me.
Lately I feel like I’m all, feel like I’m all alone
Recently, I feel a sense of loneliness.
Walk in the house with my baggage
I enter the house with emotional baggage.
I think I’ve got more than average
I believe I have more problems than the average person.
I know it’s dragging me down
I acknowledge that these issues are bringing me down.
But I just can’t let it go
I find it hard to let go of these problems.
No it’s not like me to complain
It's not my usual behavior to complain.
But I’m going insane
Despite that, I feel like I'm losing my sanity.
I tried to crash my car on the freeway
I considered crashing my car on the freeway to take a break.
So I could take a break for a few days
This drastic idea reflects my need for respite.
And no I didn’t do it
I didn't follow through with the car crash, but the intention mattered.
But I think it’s the thought that counts
Even though I didn't act, the thought of it is significant.
Now I’m living the life I been chasing
I'm now living the life I've been pursuing.
I’m on the other side and i’m staying
I've overcome challenges and decided to stay on this path.
I knew I’d make it through it
I knew I could endure and surpass difficulties.
Cuz I know it’s the thought that counts
The positive mindset of "the thought that counts" helped me.
Stuck at a desk with a landline
I'm stuck at a desk with a landline phone.
Feel like I’m wasting my sweet time
I feel like I'm wasting valuable time.
If it all ended today
If everything ended today, I'd be devastated.
I’m telling you I’d be blown
I would be emotionally overwhelmed if life suddenly stopped.
No it’s not like me to complain
Although I don't usually complain, my sanity is slipping away.
But I’m going insane
I'm struggling with my mental state.
I tried to crash my car on the freeway
I contemplated crashing my car again for a break.
So I could take a break for a few days
Similar to before, I thought about this extreme measure.
And no I didn’t do it
Just like the previous incident, I didn't follow through.
But I think it’s the thought that counts
However, the significance lies in the intention behind it.
Now I’m living the life I been chasing
I've achieved the life I've been striving for.
I’m on the other side and i’m staying
I'm now on the other side and committed to this new phase.
I knew I’d make it through it
I always believed I would overcome challenges.
Cuz I know it’s the thought that counts
Once again, the positive outlook of "the thought that counts" guided me.
I’m not giving up
I am determined and not giving up on my aspirations.
I know it’s the thought that counts
-I’m not giving up
-I know it’s the thought that counts
-I’m not giving up
-I know it’s the thought that counts
-I’m not giving up
-I tried to crash my car on the freeway
Reiteration of the previous experiences and the importance of positive thoughts in overcoming challenges.
So I could take a break for a few days
-And no I didn’t do it
-But I think it’s the thought that counts
-Now I’m living the life I been chasing
-I’m on the other side and i’m staying
-I knew I’d make it through it
-Cuz I know it’s the thought that counts
Emphasizing that the positive mindset is crucial in overcoming difficulties.
