about

This song is for those who struggle to express themselves. Oftentimes we feel that our internal lives are known only to us, because there’s a disconnect between what’s in our minds and what we put into the world. For instance, you might build up a conversation in your head, and then the actual thing goes so differently from how you imagined it, and maybe you walk away feeling like a fool, or having said something that’s not true to who you are. And maybe the fear of that moment keeps you from ever saying what you really wanted to say. This song aims to remind you that many people have this fear, and that you should never stop trying to share those thoughts that are important to you.

lyrics

I always lack the words to articulate what I'm trying to say
In a way that you'd relate to
I'm not too good at speaking
No, I never make connections at the speed or frequency that's necessary

I'm pacing in circles again
Trying to think of something to say to you
But my thoughts go stale when they leave my head
I guess I'm full of useless sentiments

I wish that all of my emotions could flow freely down this page
As they do within my mind
But lava falls into the sea, hardens into rock, and lets off steam
Like my thoughts lose poignancy

So I'm pacing in circles again
Hoping this time I'll think of something new
But my words all fail when they leave my head
I'm sure that we'd be friends if I could formulate a sentence.
