about

When I graduated from college, it seemed as if life hit me like a ton of bricks. Even though it was summer, I found myself in a general melancholy as if I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. This song is an attempt to release some of those feelings and try to make sense of them.

lyrics

Don't ever leave me here, that is if you can find me
I'm fed up with dreaming and I'm tired of being here alone

But you're not the one to care
is it even fair I am here?

But if you find me I will leave this behind me and
never look back until you go

What is the perfect man for them?
Would he stand in the doorway with a smile?
I thought I had it inside me, but I'm missing all the keys
Locked away in an ocean of thoughts and pain, will he ever be free?
Or forever be lonely in his mind?

All this emotion in my soul, how much can they see?
Cause I stay uplifted even when my heart is bleeding out to you

Are you the one to care?
Am I overreacting?

This hole expanding all around, is my life collapsing?
My happiness might go away

I put off my problems for this year, can they be gone forever?
I try for this but I need to face my fears
Tell myself I should see it through, I know I need to be better
I won't let myself falter, it's the power of the mind

I could be in a perfect place,
I should cherish this for I know in the future
I'll want these memories to stay, these experiences are living
Joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, confusion and assurance,
Feelings all, and those who walk without them aren't
living, they are dead

I put off my problems for this year, but I need to stay free
I try for this but I need to face my fears
Tell myself I should see it through, I know I need to be better
I won't let myself falter, it's the power of the mind
