Leisure Island

(album: Bad Feelings - 2023)

Much to my dismay
Right now the sky is grey
And I can't find a way
To take the steps to where I wanna be
Wish I could float away
Somewhere across the waves
Somewhere that I'd be free
To just be me, the way I wanna be

See I been in a rut, I been feeling stuck
Running outta time, running outta luck
Looking at my life I'm like what the...

To take the steps to where I wanna be
Wish I could float away
Somewhere across the waves
Somewhere that I'd be free
To just be me, the way I wanna be

It traveled through open waters twisting through coral reefs
Drifting with the current beyond the boundary
Where I thought it would end up wasn't where it turned out to be, but

I'm not drowning, I'm just waving
Highs and lows washing over me
Like hands over a basin, I'm

Not owed no explanation
No expectations, just an open heart and open mind
Open eyes for my high hoping as I'm floating by
Tryna find some solid ground under thunder of broken sky
If I ever get tired, take a rest, do my best
To remind myself, don't fight against the tide

I guess what I'm tryna say
Right now the sky is grey
And I can't find a way
To take the steps to where I wanna be
Wish I could float away
Somewhere across the waves
Somewhere that I'd be free
To just be me, the way I...
