Mazunte Ballad from Forever Familiar by Jess Porter

Waves crash in the rain
We’re all holding on to what we crave
Daydreams captivate
In the form of another
Lovers and admirers
Turn to scapegoats and outcasts
Not so long ago
I couldn’t see two feet in front of me

Ch:
But when I’d lost all hope and pride
You came running to my side
And although I thought it was gone
Together we stand alone

I’d been so alone
Reaching out to all the wrong ones
Clinging on so hard
To even the finest tether
I worked hard and so long
Forcing pegs into the wrong holes
Didn’t want to see the end
Urging myself to just hold on

(Ch)

And when I see you in the morning
I know we’ll get through this
Through anything that comes along

Waves crash on the shore
And I can see what we’ve been working for
It’s never too late
To learn a whole new lesson
Someday we can all go back
And see it all clear through the black
Choices made are never wrong
But I’m just glad I made this one
