lyrics

i’m not tired
i’m just wired
for late nights staying up
talking till the sun gets stuck
back up in the sky
reminding me
i’m still alive

i’d been looking
for hope in a song or
a run or a deep breath
a punch or a two step beat
that could carry me
away from absurdity

you’d been smoking lots
and living in your head
cause at least you’d know
where you last left it
i’m left waiting for you to wake up
but you’re still dreaming of your next cup

but it’s never quite enough
you pour it out
but nothing will come
from an ever flowing cup
when you’re too fucked
to fill it back up

left you alone
or i did my best
not to water a garden
that didn’t want to live
there were signs of life
but it wasn’t my land
and i had my own to tend
and i’d forgotten it

well i played it back
in my head
again and again
not to do any harm
just to try and understand
couldn’t find a path
that made much sense
just some half finished thoughts
and a couple new plants

i went looking
for myself
by myself
and it wasn’t close to easy
but it sure did help
and my heart kept
keeping time
wondering where you were
and what was on your mind

but it’s never quite enough
i can think it and write it
but it’s hard speaking up
i don’t mind the sweet and wasted time
the taste of your lips
and your smirk when you lie

but i try
not to get in the way
and i try
so hard
i evaporate

a year passes
and some seeds take root
your garden is growing
and mine’s growing too
and the works not always fun
but it’s better than staring
at the weeds and the mud

we left behind some pain
to get to the magic thing
