Looking Back

Looking back on those days, I can see where my friends were.
It seemed awful nice and like the moments would never end.
Sometimes when I’m down I like to go back there.
But there’s no use cause’ they already moved on.
When we decided that things were better here, I knew that it would be another four years til’ I found something, to hold on to.
Something that feels like home, cause’ this place was never home to me.
Somewhere that’s covered in snow, I’m so sick of these palm trees.
Looking back on those days, I can see where my friends were.
It seemed awful nice and like the moments would never end.
Sometimes when I’m down I like to go back there.
But there’s no use cause’ they already moved on.
Looking back on memories, of Shelburne road and what was to be. I guess it makes a lot of sense, that they grew up without me.
My friends grew up without me.
When I look into the stars at night, I realize that I don’t know.
When I look into the stars at night, I realize that,
I just don’t know,
what I’m searching for anymore.
I still don’t know, who or what I should hold on to.
Looking back on those days, I can see where my friends were.
It seemed awful nice and like the moments would never end.
Sometimes when I’m down I like to go back there.
But there’s no use cause’ they already moved on.

Getting Over

All of this going through my head, has brought me down, but I won’t quit.
I just have a tendency to over-think everything.
I know I’m moving forwards but the past, creeps over my shoulder.
but I won’t let it control me.
I won’t let my past dictate my future.
So stop wasting your time and start taking some chances.
Fuck the bullshit excuses and move on with your life.
Dwelling in the past is never going to set you free.
I’m kind of mad it took so long but I am getting over everything.
I just needed to get away.
To take some time off to let the past fade.
I think it helped me, but consequently, I’m over-thinking helplessly.
It took too long to realize that, the future was brighter than anything that I had.
I’m always stuck inside my own head.
but at least I’m getting over this.
So stop wasting your time and start taking some chances.
Fuck the bullshit excuses and move on with your life.
Dwelling in the past is never going to set you free.
I’m kind of mad it took so long but I am getting over everything.
Until my lungs give out, I’ll sacrifice myself.
Until my lungs give out, I’ll sacrifice myself.
Until my lungs give out, I’ll sacrifice everything I have.
Cause’ this always felt like a home to me.
So stop wasting your time and start taking some chances.
Fuck the bullshit excuses and move on with your life.
Dwelling in the past is never going to set you free.
I’m kind of mad it took so long but I am getting over everything.

Moving Forward

This long drive home, has given me some time to think about where I am and what I’m heading towards.
It’s nice to think about the memories but lately, they just feel so incomplete.
I wish that I was happy with what’s best for me.
Most nights, I think about how my life has turned out.
Full of regret I look back but I know there is so much time left, so I’ll get out of my head.
It just feels nice to get things off my chest, the loneliness was always second best.
To enjoying what I have and the people that made me who I am.
Going through the motions never seemed to work for me, I couldn’t ignore the voices constantly telling me to leave.
This isn’t the life I chose for myself.
I was an open book, placed on the wrong shelf.

This life was not the one that I chose for myself,
I was an open book placed on the wrong shelf.
But I can turn this page, and start to change my ways, I’m not getting younger, just reminding myself.
