Midnight in June
04:32

|
The moonlight on the stone
Worn cobblestone turned blue
In nighttime I am lost
Lost because of you
I thought I could get away
I thought I was free
But daylight is my only release
Oh I, I'm torn up in two
Distracted by the light of the moon
Oh I, I've walked miles from you
Lost in the haze of a midnight in June
The streets go on and on
They meander as they will
I walk until the dawn quiet and still
Oh I, I'm torn up in two
Distracted by the light of the moon
Oh I, I've walked miles from you
Lost in the haze of a midnight in June
I can only imagine the sunrise
So I keep walking and walking till I see the light
Oh it's bright, unconfined, yes I've tried to steal the moon
I'm alright, I'll be fine, no, I don't need you
If I wanted, if I needed I would find a way to
Something new, something without you
Oh I, I'm torn up in two
Distracted by the light of the moon
Oh I, I've walked miles from you
Lost in the haze of a midnight in June

Limited View

Something else has control of me
And now I'm pacing floors and losing sleep
These pills don't work like they're supposed to be
And I've been losing my mind
A cycle of panic over something new
A continuous reel of what I didn't do
It seems that I am still stuck on you
And I've been losing my mind
But we cannot dwell on the temporary
How did I let this become all consuming?
Can I just let it wash over me
Life's more than this limited view
LIfe's more than this limited view
This isn't how I imagined it to be
Blindsided, you are all I see
And now the fear has taken over me
And I've been losing my mind
I let emotion in the driver's seat
To destination: Codependency
And I'm a slave to my anxiety
And I've been losing my mind
But we cannot dwell on the temporary
How did I let this become all consuming?
Can I just let it wash over me
Life's more than this limited view
LIfe's more than this limited view
How can you see into the future?
How can I keep moving forward?
I can't carry your weight on my shoulders
I'll let go of bad memories
And endure all the worry
I'm not sure who I'm meant to be
But I'm more than this limited view
I'm more than this limited view
But we cannot dwell on the temporary
How did I let this become all consuming?
Can I just let it wash over me
Life's more than this limited view
LIfe's more than this limited view

The Letter
03:39

Today I was cleaning and I found a letter
One you wrote me years ago
You started it off "My Dear Olivia"
And I laughed at the cringy tone
But as it went on, you mentioned you missed me
And it had only been four days
You were watching a movie and it got you thinking
And so you decided to say:
"I hope life doesn't separate us,
I hope that it never will.
Some people grow and lose sight of it all,
But I hope we can just stay still.
What you and me have, I'll never let go
Not for a job, a dream or a girl.
I hope we don't ever grow too far apart, and I know that we never will."
I smiled a little as I folded it up
And stored it away in a box
But the words didn't leave me
And they started to haunt me
As they echoed through my thoughts:
"I hope life doesn't separate us,
I hope that it never will.
Some people grow and lose sight of it all,
But I hope we can just stay still.
What you and me have, I'll never let go
Not for a job, a dream or a girl.
I hope we don't ever grow too far apart, and I know that we never will."
Never will, oh we never will
Never will, oh we never will
Never will, oh we never will
Today I was cleaning and I found a letter
One you wrote me years ago
You started it off "My Dear Olivia"
Why you left me, I'll never know

What Would It Feel Like

What would it feel like to not care what you think of me?
No hope in reaction, no feeling towards what you think
Would I access a part of me I've never seen before?
Would I have strength to be better and want so much more?
What would it feel like if I was content with who I am?
Would I stop searching fo answers in love of a man?
Would I carry myself as if nothing could hurt me?
Would I stop trying to change your perception of me?
Love don't care what people say
Love don't try to change a thing
You'll never be what they want anyway
So give it up and let it go for today
What would it feel like if I stopped comparing myself
Took note of the good things that I did for somebody else
Their words would not mean a thing with judgment disappearing
What would it feel like if I loved myself?
Love don't care what people say
Love don't try to change a thing
You'll never be what they want anyway
So give it up and let it go for today
I've been so lost in my own thoughts
Scared to break free, but I know it's meant to be
I can't go on living this way, it's not who I am
Now I understand
Love don't care what people say
Love don't try to change a thing
You'll never be what they want anyway
So give it up and let it go
Love don't care what people say
Love don't try to change a thing
You'll never be what they want anyway
So give it up and let it go for today

Some people find hope in the morning
And others will look to a god
Some question the earth, find hope in the wind
And others refuse what they're taught
Some people will use all excuses
To justify the life that they live
Some people choose hurt and hatred and pain
And some people choose to forgive
For there is no excuse
To preach love and practice abuse
For you cannot teach love
And claim that this is enough
For the world needs much more
Cuz we're on the brink of a war
In matters of morals and heart
Some people search for the answers
In poems and in books and songs
Some look to the news or memorize verses
Only to prove someone wrong
Some people just stay quiet
To keep peace where peace is not
But the damage was done when no one stood up
And promised and prayed and fought
For there is no excuse
To preach love and practice abuse
For you cannot teach love
And claim that this is enough
For the world needs much more
Cuz we're on the brink of a war
In matters of morals and heart
For there is no one
Who deserves not to be loved
No one gets the right to choose
Who matters based on their views
For the world needs much more
Cuz we're on the brink of a war
In matters of morals and heart
In matters of morals and heart
