Pay That Price
Navigating Life's Crossroads: Paying the Price for Redemption
Lyrics
I called you on your birthday
I reached out to you on your birthday
I knew you wouldn't be home
Anticipating you wouldn't be at home
A shaman to your suburban friends
Describing you as a spiritual guide to your suburban friends
Are you gonna save their souls?
Questioning if you will save their souls
My mom, she sent me money
My mother sent me money
I flew my family home
I brought my family back home using the funds
We got drunk on Christmas
We indulged in alcohol on Christmas
While the kids were on their phones
While the children were occupied with their phones
You told me there's no shame in taking my time
You advised me that there's no shame in taking my time
That's good advice, that's good advice
Emphasizing the value of this advice
You told me sometimes world's collide
You mentioned that sometimes worlds collide
That sounds alright, that sounds alright
Expressing approval of this idea
I heard you got my letter
I learned that you received my letter
That didn't take very long
Noting the quick response time
And then you did me one better
You outdid my gesture
Forgot to stand still
Neglecting to stay still or respond in kind
I know that I've been here before
Recognizing a familiar situation
Currently ignored
Feeling presently ignored
Thinking that forgiveness
Contemplating the idea of forgiveness
Is something I should explore
Considering it as something worth exploring
You told me that would be a waste of time
You dissuaded me, claiming it would be a waste of time
And to think twice, and to think twice
Advising to reconsider and think twice
I'm OK with how things might arise
Expressing acceptance of potential challenges
I'll pay that price, I'll pay that price
Committing to facing the consequences, willing to pay the price
