Don't Listen To Me

(album: Everything A River Should Be - 2018)

Don't listen to me if what I'm saying
Tends to be confusing, it's not what I mean to be.
I'm just trying to see how restarting something
So beautiful could end in forgetfulness.

Finding merit in your head.
Finding merit in your head.

Desiring moments from our past times.
Am I breaking peace if I
Study the frames?
Always set in my ways.

Why must we have all this worked out?

Whenever you're gone, I have a world of love for you.
And whenever I'm wrong, I swear that there's nothing that I would not do.

If I'm honest, it's inevitable.
This is holding me down.
Set in my ways.
I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways.
Finally lonely.
I'm finally lonely.

Why must we have all this worked out?

Whenever you're gone, I have a world of love for you.
And whenever I'm wrong, I swear that there's nothing that I would not do.

Cravings for connection, disguised by my control.
And to honor one's volition means sometimes to let go.

Don't listen to me if what I'm saying
Tends to be confusing, it's not what I mean to be.
I'm just trying to see how restarting something
So beautiful could end in forgetfulness.
