The hands on the clock are stuck at 2:15
And I'm running low on faith and caffeine
When the evenings are darker and it won't let me sleep
I find myself makin' up a melody
But I'm done with sad songs and heartbreak
And love not returned
You loved and I lost and bridges were burned
I'm through with secrets kept silent
Or the walls I built around
Give me something else to sing about
After the pain subsides, is that when the happiness arrivesĀ
After I close my eyes, can you promise the sun will shine Ā
After I take that flight, can I really leave my woes behindĀ
After I fall in love, and leave this job, get rich and drunkĀ
Maybe after
Oh after
Oh afterwards
the hands on the clock tell me it's past the hourĀ
before the sun goes down on me
of time i've lost all sense, only got this feeling in my chest
pounding out a beat slow and heavy
So I go and make up a verseĀ
And sing when I know I won't be heard
That's the only time I say my most honest wordsĀ
'Cause if these four walls they could talkĀ
These four walls they've heard it allĀ
All the upbeat, all of my dreams, all of the griefĀ
Now, give me something good to sing aboutĀ
After the pain subsides, is that when the happiness arrivesĀ
After I close my eyes, can you promise the sun will shine Ā
After I take that flight, can I really leave my woes behindĀ
After I fall in love, and leave this job, get rich and drunkĀ
the longer i stare at this blank page and think of what to write
and play this riff over and over, waiting for words to arrive
the more i doubt if i should even let these thoughts materialize
into music and words i'm trying too hard to rhyme
because it's hard, let's be honest, to be completely truly honest
and to take what's in your heart and allow other people to grasp it
you speak out loud finally, of your desires and your dreams
only to step back 'cause you think that vulnerable equals weak
but i've got dreams of my own
and i've got a love though not many know
and it's no secret, but I won't deny it anymore
maybe I'll take a step towards who I wanna become
and you, youāve always just been, to be me is to have you
and iām still trying to understand so Iāll try personifying you
youāre my secret keeper when my heart runs out of room
when nothing numbs the pain, youāre who I can escape through
youāre my one form of expression when iām unable to speak
when i canāt recognize myself, youāre my true identity
youāre everyone iāve ever loved, and every dream I would pursue
my hopes and aspirations have everything to do with you
and i've got dreams of my own
and i've got a love though not many know
and it's no secret, but I won't deny it anymore
maybe i'll take a step towards who I wanna become

If I read one more salty think piece in like some old ass magazine about why selfies are like ruining the millennial generation, Iām going to lose my mind.
