always been you

(album: if we're being honest - 2023)

Beachwood Canyon, purple wigs
Getting day drunk, like it's a holiday
Moonlight dancing, summer skin
We all need something to celebrate

I've been trying, to keep my head straight
Want you to know I'm not too scared to say
You, oh you, it's always been you
It's, always, always been
What's there to spill but a bottle of wine
At least it'll keep us honest
You, oh you, its always been you

Rooftop sunsets, firelight
So nostalgic, don't wanna say goodnight
If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up
What's this feeling, please let it be enough

I've been trying, to keep my head straight
Want you to know I'm not too scared to say
You, oh you, it's always been you
It's, always, always been
What's there to spill but a bottle of wine
At least it'll keep us honest
You, oh you, its always been you

As chaotic as it was
There was magic in that madness
There was beauty to be found in that sadness
Cause, well, if you feel that at least you know it meant something
Isn't that what we're all searching for
That feeling, that intangible
That x-factor, that indescribable
That's what makes life worth living

You, oh you, it's always been you
It's, always, always been
What's there to spill but a bottle of wine
At least it'll keep us honest
You, oh you, its always been you
