Staircase - new empire

Late at night it's kind of early for making promises
But I'll try to keep them all
So when it's hard and when it's easier
And when it's adventurous
I just need to know you know
You know

I was standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
You'll make a lot of friends you'll make a lot of foes

On your own it can be easier to do things for a while
But these traps don't catch their own
So with all this distraction
And with all of my empty words
I will give you all of my soldiers hearts

I was standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
You'll make a lot of friends you'll make a lot of foes
Standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it

So I climb a little higher and I'll reach a little closer to you
I'll step a little higher cause you said it's not over

I was standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
You'll make a lot of friends you'll make a lot of foes
Now I'm standing at the staircase
Staring into space I thought I had it all
Just try to do it your way
I've made a lot of friends, I've made a lot of foes

Weddings....

I wonder why it is that weddings always seem to bring out so many different emotions in people,
Is it because they fear that they will remain single for the rest of their lives, or that people look at them as if to say 'it should be you standing there not her', or are they questioning if they made the right decision 25 years ago.

There are so many different reasons that people cry at weddings, it could simply be that they know the feeling of standing there, anxiously waiting for your future wife to walk down the aisle, or they are reminiscing the day they exchanged vows and 10 years later are standing their alone watching their child making the same commitment and quietly praying that it works out better than their own marriage did. Or it could just be that they are standing there knowing that they have finally found the one and can't wait until the day that it can be them standing there confessing to the world the love they have for each other.

And why is it that people argue at weddings, is it because they fear letting themselves be seen crying as it may make them appear weak, so they act rudely to make themselves feel stronger, or is because they have come to a point where they realize that their relationship needs serious work before their marriage ends up in a divorce. Or it could simply be that they realize all the time they have wasted ignoring the ones they love that arguing seems to be the only logical explanation?

Why is it that weddings brings out so many different emotions, I guess only you really know the answer.
