lyrics

This week I've been feeling heavy,
Like the weight in my chest has come back again
My old friend in solitude has found it's way back to me
I took it for granted when it was around
But this feeling of helplessness has kept my feet up off the ground

I've never been anywhere where I felt more at home
Like I belong and I'm not alone
Up until now I gotten along with the people around me
But I never felt like I was wanted
In these short weeks I found a new way of living
and I hope I never forget the people that taught me to be me

Sitting with my eyes closed tight against the sun
By the benches on the concrete, my feet too tired to run
I've found all these new people but even when i'm surrounded
Sometimes I feel like i'm left alone
But I guess that's to be expected, after five years of just existing
I think i'll need some time to adjust because

But when you're living in the past you never move on
And I don't want to be that guy who only rises to fall
I've found myself a new place, somewhere I belong
I have to make the most of it, I won't be here for long
I guess i'll miss the people I left behind
I guess I miss the people I left behind

Living separate lives, it's hard to make time
I owe so much to my old friends, who put up with my shit
To help me get over it.

It looks like my friends just don't give a fuck
And I guess that i'm way shit out of luck
Please don't go to that house party just come to my show and hang out with me
It's fine by me, I guess i'll wait and see
When I go to university will you still call me?

It's hard to let go, of everything you put yourself into for three years
The records still remain and the memories with them will remind me that I had to grow up, I had to move on

Once again I sacrificed myself
Tonight I wish I could be someone else

This dead weight pulls at me I won't get any sleep tonight
All the things I cannot change keep running through my mind
Will one day come when I don't lose what I'm trying to find?
I just need to clear my head but it's too cold to go outside
