I watch the sunlight pour through cracks in jacarandas and I feel myself get calmer by the day

I pick a cardinal direction that I move in and I move with diligence in whichever way

I look back over everything the life I lead the songs I'd sing

when I'm gone don't see my grave visit my friends

A dead lawn outside my childhood home

I'm thinking 'that's the way it is'

I let the sunshine hit my skin and let go

I hold myself like I'm a puppet, hanging from a string

I don't stop to notice cause I'm, overthinking silly things

I try to grow stronger, as I get older

Hope you will notice me, leaning less on your shoulder

I look back over everything the life I lead the songs I'd sing

when I'm gone don't see my grave visit my friends

A dead lawn outside my childhood home

I'm thinking 'that's the way it is'

I let the sunshine hit my skin and let go

Dragging feet across the concrete, talking face to face

'Haven't seen you in a minute? Did you move out of your place?'

'Did you ever get that job, or at least get that resume?

If you didn't man that sucks but know that it'll be okay'

'I've been doing alright man, I mean I guess I can't complain,

I've been taking baby steps, I saw Alé the other day'

'And I don't know what I'm searching for once I get my degree,

but I'm hoping for the best I'm sure it all works out for me'

I look back over everything the life I lead the songs I'd sing

when I'm gone don't see my grave visit my friends

A dead lawn outside my childhood home

I'm thinking 'that's the way it is'

I let the sunshine hit my skin and let go
