about

I wrote this initially to be a happy song, and then my life changed, and so did the lyrics.

lyrics

Lately I wake up early
I can't explain it

Most days I'm not so empty
But here today
My mind is not so stable
It seems I build too many towers
With such poor foundations
But what's the point of building carefully
When the view is far better with the thrill of uncertainty

When hellos not enough
The words get caught in my lungs
They're on the tip of my tongue
But I can't bring myself to say
All these words in my brain
Can't seem to make them go away
I just don't want things to change
You mean the world to me

Lately I fall asleep so slowly
I can't explain

So many thoughts that I cannot contain it
I need to find anything
To divide me from my mind
And never do I think of leaving
there's nowhere to run to anyway
Sometimes I wish I could change your mind
Cause false hope will kill me

When hellos not enough
The words get caught in my lungs
They're on the tip of my tongue
But I can't bring myself to say
All these words in my brain
Can't seem to make them go away
I don't want things to change
You mean the world to me

There's nothing to see here
What was left of me has dissapeared
I can't help but think of you
Hopelessly in search of what I did wrong

When hellos not enough
The words get caught in my lungs
They're on the tip of my tongue
But I can't bring myself to say
All these things in my brain
I can't stop things from changing
You mean the world to me

Now I crawl into my shell
Because for me there's no one else
And I hope you find yourself
In the arms of someone else.
