lyrics

“Everything is alright.” She tells me, “The sun gets closer by day, so I gave you the night. But what’d you give me? What’d you bring me? Even when I’m gone, you have birthed rights. You better move it along before there are no lights in there. Save yourself!” I think I’m ready to go home. I know you’re mad but celebrate your worth tonight. Say you will. After this, we’re only here for seasons. I guess after that…What’s the point of throwing pennies in empty wells? Your time is better spent with the ones you can tell apart from the ones you left. And the one who left. I think I’m ready to go home. I know you’re scared but celebrate your worth tonight. Say you will because after this we’re only here four more seasons. I feel your pain…I lost it all just to know that I could feel again. If you need a friend, you know me. You know who I am. I remember she told me, “There’s good if you look for it.”
