Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Breaking the Rules

Posted November 10, 2001 5:19pm ET

Whatever I do I’m breaking all the rules
I’m not supposed to let me fall for you
I’ve built all these walls to keep myself safe
To keep out all of the cold
But you tore them down
You shook the ground
And maybe I’m not meant to be alone

But the wind is changing
These shadows fade in the day
The world is turning
And I don’t get it anyway
Cause I’m tired of driving these highways
But this hurt lives next-door too
I’m tired of loving and living
But I’d love and live for you

Whatever I do I’m breaking all the rules
I’m not supposed to not know what to do
I put up all these fences now
They keep me safely left alone
But you walked around
And now I’ve found
That maybe I’m not meant to be alone

And the wind is changing
These shadows fade in the day
The world is turning
And I don’t get it anyway
Cause I’m tired of driving these highways
But this hurt lives next-door too
I’m tired of loving and living
But I’d love and live for you

Cause I’m tired of driving these highways
But this hurt lives next-door too
I’m tired of loving and living
Why not love and live for you?

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
