Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong. ~Alex Gaskarth

Tables constantly turn from day to day.
There’s not one person who hasn’t heard them say,
When one door closes, one is sure to open.
We all find ourselves tryin’ and copin’,
With what seems so hard to do.
But when that table turns again life will show you,
What it takes to stay tough.
What it takes to get through the rough,
Is what it will take to get through the day.
Cause’ there’s not one person who hasn’t heard them say,
When one door closes, one is sure to open.
