about

I wrote this song sat in a hotel in Madrid after our flight had been delayed for 18 Hours, and the lyrics themselves are an amalgamation of the books I was reading and the overall feel of the hotel we were in.

lyrics

You got too much space, fill it all up
I’m getting used to your face and waking back up
And existence is great but not when you’re stuck
And I love this place, and I’m giving it up

Next time around I’ll make it okay
That’s what I told you on previous days
And I know it’s sad, and I know it’s true
But I’ll go back around, and I’m the only one who’s going to remember you

When my ship takes off, it never will land
We got a man on the moon, with our world in his hands
But the moon doesn’t matter, ‘cause it did not go as planned
And now I’m forced to fight things I can’t understand

Next time around I’ll make it okay
That’s what I told you on previous days
And I know it’s sad, and I know it’s true
But I’ll go back around, and I’m the only one who’s going to remember you

And there’s a ghost on the water who’s calling my name and
I know I oughtta stop playing her games but
These are the times and the times they have changed
I don’t know your feeling when you’re looking away
And I’m trying to find a break in this desperate routine
And I never tried to make this killing machine
And I’m proud of my mistakes but the ones with you and me
Are the ones I will erase, so just you wait and see
