lyrics

let me try to explain

well half the time i’m worrying over things
and that’s half the time i’ll ever spend
on this earth

and half of that is half as much as
half as much as you deserve
from me
and yet that’s all I can offer
right now
right now

lately, i’ve been doing my best to
convince myself I’m
doing my best
with the most of my time

yet when an idle smile
rests on my child face
i admit It feels out of place
and I fear
fear I’m deluding myself
with things
that just feel nice

and i know they say it’s so important to
FOLLOW YOUR OWN LIGHT
or whatever that means
but these damn screens, man
i let them keep me up at night
it’s either that or a single flame
from a plastic cask of butane
ejected by my own thumb
that leaves me always
leaves me wandering, dumb, dumb
leaves me wandering dumb

no wind
no stars
no map
and no crew

yeah, i'm feeling lost at sea
but you can't see me no
you’re too preoccupied
building up your walls with no windows
in your castle on the shore
that you’ve built for you and me
and not a soul more

and all the familiar fears they won’t
say goodbye, bye
even when you look me in my eye
and tell me you love me
this shouldn’t come as a surprise...

(alright, hey)

no...
no wind, no stars, no map, and no crew
it’s half as much as
doing my best
following my
feeling lost at sea
