about

This song is about those nights when you can't fall alseep and the late night thoughts that cross your mind. Mine anyways.

lyrics

Do you ever think about
What the futures going to be?
Does it bug you like
An itch you just can’t reach?

Do you ever think about the past?
Your childhood, how it’s never coming back
Old relationships
And why they didn’t last?

Do you just ignore the fact
That we share a part of history
That did its best
To shape and shift you and me?

Do you dwell on the little things?
Like what’s for dinner
What’s going on tomorrow
Does this help you to fall asleep?

It doesn’t make for
An interesting life
But you seem to be happy like you’re doing alright
Living in your ignorance and your light
Well I guess that I could just give it a try
My father told me
Learn from other people’s mistakes
Be honest and true
Even when they’re being fake

But I have seen
The disappointment in his eyes
Heard it in his voice
As he asked me why

Did you try to be
Something that you’re not
Son, you keep on searching
As if you’re lost

I said I don’t know who I am
Or what I want to be
But I love my mistakes
Cause they’re what made me
Made me, me

Do you ever feel like
Time past you by?
Opportunity came
But you were lost in the sky

Do you ever see ghosts?
When you’re up late at night
The ones of yesterday and tomorrow
Like they’re trying to start a fight

Sometimes I think
I’m the only one
Whoever lays awake
And questions everything they’ve done

When I ignore the fact that
You’re gone and never coming back
That the memories are all I have

If I forget
That I am going to die
Just like my grandparents
And my parents too
Well then I finally start to feel ok
My father told me
Learn from other people’s mistakes
Be honest and true
Even when they’re being fake

But I have seen
The disappointment in his eyes
Heard it in his voice
As he asked me why

Did you try to be
Something that you’re not
Son, you keep on searching
As if you’re lost

I said I don’t know who I am
Or what I want to be
But I love my mistakes
Cause they’re what made me
Made me, me
