Michelle Branch - Tuesday Morning
I remember,
Stormy weather,
The way the sky looks when it's cold
And you were with me,
Content with walking,
So unaware of the world
Please don't drive me home tonight,
'Cause I don't want to feel alone,
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go
Tuesday morning,
In the dark
I was finding out,
Who you are… oh
I took your picture,
While you were sleeping,
Then I pased around the room
If I had known then,
That, these things happen,
Would they have happened with you? Ho ohh
Please don't drive me home tonight,
'Cause I don't want to feel alone,
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go
Tuesday morning,
In the dark
I was finding out,
Who I was…
And if you turned around to see me,
And I was gone… oh oo woo
Should have looked outside your window
'Cause the sun was coming up… ho oo woo
The sun was coming up… oh ho oo woo, ho
Please don't drive me home tonight,
'Cause I don't want to feel alone,
Tuesday morning,
In the dark
We were finding out,
Who we are
Tuesday morning,
In the dark… oh, oh
We were finding out,
Who we are, who we are… ho woo oo oh… ho woo oo oh
Who we are, who we are… ho, woo oo oh
Who we are

It's time to notice the ones around you. What if your life was given the perspective of the follower, the invisibile person that helped you up in your life? It isn't only your friend, it might be someone you'd taken for granted most of the time; maybe your mom, your maid, your teacher. Believe it, there are many many more people out there who show their concern to you in one time or another.
I remember last year someone in class got a terrible fever, and everyone was so anxious to call a taxi and sending him to a clinic, no one remembered to stay by and just watch over him. It's a long time ago, and I was just happening to be free... but that incident - waiting silently for 30 minutes outside the class as he wallowed in pain in class - has taught me something, sometimes people care when you don't even notice, when you don't even realise it. I know he won't remember me standing outside at all waiting for the form teacher to bring him down... but it's the silent aid I gave what that doesn't even matter.
Sometimes we've got to turn back and remember who we owe to be where we are today, thank them for their efforts.. even their smallest ones... and be grateful that you're never really alone, you just draw a blind over everyone else.
Michelle Branch's composed a song for all the people who once gave their all to bring someone else back on his/her feet, and had walked away after he/she became strong again, not wanting any acknowlegement for their efforts.
"And if you turn around and see me, and I was gone, you should've looked outside your window, for the sun was coming up,"
Because your sun has dawned again in your life, your friend's responsibility is done, he/she begins to fade away from the scene, so that you can return back normally to your life and forget all about them. They don't mind you not remembering them by your darkest moments, but as long as you continue staying on your feet and being strong... that is all they ask for.
