Dreamers

(album: Every Where Is Some Where - 2017)

Nobody showed you how to live?
Me either
Get a steady job, couple kids
Act decent
But I've been on a ten-speed thinking about the time as the sun sets
Like, what would I do different if I hit rewind and did it again?

I tried to figure it out but nothing was coming to mind
Remembered all my mistakes
But the memories made me smile
I told the one that I loved that love would mean letting me go
Even though I was afraid
You gotta do some things on your own

This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea
This life is only what you want it to be
And I want more, I want more

You go to heaven when you die
I'm betting
You're still with me on the line?
Just checking
Cause I've been making fast friends, late at night the kind when the sun sets
Like, waking up and thinking honey why I do it again?

I came to in a cold sweat with a nosebleed feeling hopeless
Thought I maybe might be dead til I got my pen sat down and wrote this
Suddenly I felt fine inside a mind so full of ghosts
The darkest nights mean you see the stars the most

This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea
This life is only what you want it to be
And I want more, I want more

I used to knock on wood
I used to never curse
I used to think I could
Control the universe
With my obsessive thoughts
And what felt like a prayer
I shouted to the sky don't let my family disappear
I used to feel alone
I used to not belong
But little did I know I had the power all along
The only thing to fear
Is never being scared
