Lyrics
they say build new connections- people and places you don’t know
all this grief if just love without direction. it needs some place to go
and now you wait at the same station- but this time, all alone
while you fight with hesitations, not to just pack up and go home.
all your doubts’ve been screaming out,
and there ain’t no control
to dial back on these feelings somehow-
that you can’t do it on your own
and then. you’re barely getting by- no safety nets to fall in
on your final last-ditch try, no favours here for you to call in
you’ve been leaning on the wall, to beat up to stand
and just fighting the urge to fall, and let gravity force your final hand
and all your doubts are pushing back hard,
but you dit your heels in deep
call on this strength that lies below the scars,
and this life that you’re trying to keep.
and when you’re out of options to use, and time you wish you didn’t waste
thinking about how often that you sat here silently in this place
but it don’t seem to matter much, nobody counts your failing grade
still time to climb these ladders up, over the damages that you made
and all your doubts- just silent now
each one of those files closed
you don’t judge the path that you went down
just took the shortest road
