lyrics

You were standing next to me
with a hole in your soul that I could clearly see
all the way to tomorrow then ineffectively
I tried to tell you that it would be alright

You told me everything changes, rearranges
and sometimes the only thing you can say is
that there's nothing you can say
and that's okay

Things are never as black and white
as you'd like them to be
the only damn constant that you'll ever see
is that you'll never see it again

I forgot how to breathe for a minute
lost the moment before I was in it
and I can't stop overthinking

Can you help me slow down
cause I don't know how
I can't even properly hit the ground
without giving thought to sinking

There's another side of me that I'm sure you see
the dwelling and telling that everything
could be different
if I could be different

And if I could go back
do you think I would
You know I've been over the ways I could
do it better if I could do it again

Everything that I screamed at
when it came down
do you think I could sing it the next time around
and now all tomorrows look like yesterdays
