This feature length song is about moving from Massachusetts to LA and watching my friend group/community/relationship to my social life and sense of solitude change and be different but not necessarily worse/better.
Dedicated to all of the people who willingly spend time with me and talk to me. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lyrics
wake up
don't break down
just get up
there's a life that you want
and you don't
have a lot of time
It's early
you've gotta go out
don't regret
staying up last night
unless you
plan to change something
'cause you don't
got a lot of time
and you'll go downtown this time today
don't be scared you've gotta risk it sometimes
i know it's safer inside
but you'll talk to someone today
don't be tired you've gotta learn things somehow
I know it's safer in the woods
Let's go out
get noodles
it's something
that I never had
living
back in the woods
It was nice there
It was quiet
I made my mind there
but I just stayed at home
though i did have
a lot of time
and I just
had a lot of time
Now it's gone but I've got something else
People that can take me outside
I can learn directly this time.
I'll miss those hours alone
in the field crying about East of Eden
But now I can see those people for real.
everywhere I go
i'm starting to miss
all the things that happened to me
everywhere I go
i'm starting to miss
all the places that I used to live
everywhere I go
i'm starting to miss
all the friends I used to have
everywhere I go
i'm starting to miss
all the people that I hardly knew
but no matter where you go
you can't get caught up
in anything that used to be
no matter where you go
you can't get hung up
on ideas of what could have been
so scream out my name
from across the whole city
I think I could hear it
if you yell loud enough
and I'll open my ear drums
and stretch out my neck
because it's hard to know where you stand
without some feedback
And I might be wrong about this
but I think that I can change
At the peak of my confidence
I had my delusions
I thought I climbed to high
and could not see the bottom
i was so alone that
the world lost it's meaning
But I just kept climbing til
I burst through the ceiling
and I might be wrong
but I think I can change
Sitting in the back seat
listening to a song that we love
though we heard so many times before
and I hope we hear so many more
And I've said too much about my self
and not enough about the friends who've helped me
thank for giving me your time
And not just in practical ways
like staying with you when I hardly knew you
just thanks for talking to me
So thanks for sticking around
I'll try to stick around here too
Let's go hiking sometime next weekend.
