Session
♪♫The Offspring♫♪ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know when it got this way
I don't know how long she's gonna stay
Every week it's the same in her room
That's why I came

Here I go, I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session

[Chorus]
I'll never learn
God knows I try
Keep coming back for session
And I don't know why
I'll never learn, I'll never see
Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me

Some might say it's a fling
For all I know it don't mean a thing
Either way I can't complain
Ain't no strings
Guess I got it made

Here I go, I go again
Our rendezvous' never seem to end
I know where I'll be
I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session





[Chorus]

@@cindyrobinson2890 - WORK HARD at it WITH The Lord , but let Him do the HEAVIEST Lifting .
Seriously .
It SEEMS here , that you were wronged in a way I could never understand , and my heart goes out to you and ALL victims of whatever hurt you had to endure.
Its NOT an easy climb , and your healing can ONLY come as has been described by our leaders , Through the POWER of The Atonement of Jesus Christ and His Grace . Still , YOU , Cindy , are a faithful CHOICE daughter of God , wronged in a way known deeply ONLY to the two of YOU. You are NOT called to ABANDON THAT you were wronged , how or by whom , but ONLY called to offload the BURDEN to your Savior , letting Him take mastery of the situation , guiding how it will play out in the Eternities for ALL involved . Leave THAT to THEM .
Your Bishop has probably ALREADY helped quite allot . That's what he's THERE for .
Draw on that source of guidance and comfort as you seek your true comfort in The Grace of Christ . It all SOUNDS like a "simplified" formula , but its His Formula - one I too have had opportunity to work through , as the victim of my own painful betrayals .
He NEVER wasn't there to HELP , and I will be eternally GRATEFUL that I was able to SUCCESSFULLY unburden my resentment , hurt and anger .
Pray for THEM , DO for you AND them - AS the Spirit Directs , but ONLY as The Spirit directs , one TINY step at a time .
If YOU're already THERE , help others in their challenges , large AND small !
The JOY IS there to FIND and make YOURS !!
