lyrics
Your eyes opened up like a canyon in front of me
But the trail is blocked by a rockslide of memories
Now I’m cautiously stepping through photos at the edge of my bed
I'm caught-up in a river of tears that were never shed
Chorus:
And I’m still trying to take this all in
I'm still trying to take it all in
When life made a fist and you took it on the chin
You still tried to take it all in
In the nights when I was lost, you were all around
I was waiting for the dust to clear and fall to the ground
I made a home in the mystery and the unrehearsed
And the waves rolled in so warm on the shore of my thirst
Now, I’m still trying to take this all in
Still trying to take it all in
Until the truth of a heart isn’t measured by lose or win
I’m still trying to take it all in
I was stumbling down the road kicking my pain around
Couldn’t feel the sun right before my eyes
When I learned to let go, I found you by my side
The love flowed in, filled the space that I’d been holding for goodbye.
I stopped searching this town for a heart with a better view
When I found a bigger world you made inside of you
Still trying to take this all in
Still trying to take it all in
I'm standing on a road, you showed me where to begin
Showed me how to take it all in
Until the truth of my heart isn’t measured by lose or win
Still trying to take it all…just gotta take it all...
Gotta open my heart and just take it all in.
But the trail is blocked by a rockslide of memories
Now I’m cautiously stepping through photos at the edge of my bed
I'm caught-up in a river of tears that were never shed
Chorus:
And I’m still trying to take this all in
I'm still trying to take it all in
When life made a fist and you took it on the chin
You still tried to take it all in
In the nights when I was lost, you were all around
I was waiting for the dust to clear and fall to the ground
I made a home in the mystery and the unrehearsed
And the waves rolled in so warm on the shore of my thirst
Now, I’m still trying to take this all in
Still trying to take it all in
Until the truth of a heart isn’t measured by lose or win
I’m still trying to take it all in
I was stumbling down the road kicking my pain around
Couldn’t feel the sun right before my eyes
When I learned to let go, I found you by my side
The love flowed in, filled the space that I’d been holding for goodbye.
I stopped searching this town for a heart with a better view
When I found a bigger world you made inside of you
Still trying to take this all in
Still trying to take it all in
I'm standing on a road, you showed me where to begin
Showed me how to take it all in
Until the truth of my heart isn’t measured by lose or win
Still trying to take it all…just gotta take it all...
Gotta open my heart and just take it all in.

Music is his tool of navigation, discovery, and anchoring. His guitar is always nearby pulling deeper into the unfamiliar with the steadiness of a mast. Ric gravitates toward unique voicings, percussive frailing, and meticulous fingerpicking patterns.
