I'm Not Sure What It Is

(album: Banana Skin Shoes - 2020)

I'm tired of climbing ladders
Just to slip down all the snakes
Enough of swings and roundabouts
Just to make the same mistakes
My patterns of behaviour
Are beginning to wear thin
Can see the destination
But never sure where to begin

Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold

I'll know what I want
When I see what it is
At least we tried something
Even if nothing comes of it
Seems like the real things
Have all turned out to be fake
Spent half my life sleeping
And the second half awake

Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold

Put your head in my hands
Let this feeling move on
Something that was there
That is afterwards gone
Take good care of this child
Who lives on in my soul
That half-smile in the mirror
Placed with mine becomes whole

Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold

Sometimes I'm not sure just what it is
There are days where I remember to exist
I'm so blessed to have you by my side
The true test is how you feel when you're alone
The best part is that the future's unknown
And the next part of our story's untold
