A New Beginning

I screwed up a few times in my life

Another few times I made it all right

Memories made are of past mistakes

Promises I never intended to keep in the beginning



I know some will be upset and protest I was never their friend

Others make up lies...I hope they cry...when I turn it back around and make my life perfect somehow

I am no longer that boy from High School who never got a date

You can call me a little outgoing, just don't hate me when this is over in the end



"Hi my name is Joel tell me, what is yours?"

I couldn't wait to find out...I could tell you meant much more

Than a stupid small conversation in the middle of a crowded room

Thats why I stayed with you, didn't leave too soon



Maybe this is moving fast, but I've never been one to judge

I know I know nothing about you, but thats fine because

We have all the time in the world to try to make this right

Tell me about you, and I'll tell you all about my life

About a girl I just met and also about how I've changed in the last 3 months...especially since I got to college
