lyrics

I stopped watching the news
it was giving me anxiety
I gave up being in touch
pulled the covers over my little life

it was all just too much
everything was losing its meaning
why write songs all day long
waste my time on what is selfish and fleeting?

I know that I'm missing the point and I've got it all wrong
I know it's important there's value in writing a song
I love making music cause music is where I belong
it gives me my purpose without it I wouldn't be strong

so I ducked my head and I gave up keeping along

someday I will return
I'll keep up with the world as it burns
but for now what do I see?
I see a world that is new and exciting

such interesting people, so many in one small city
a pile of memories all here in this town by the sea
it isn't all good but it isn't all bad I should say
despite my complaints I'm grateful I landed this way

who knows if we're fucked? at least I live a good life today
