Virginia
Escaping Shadows: Briston Maroney's Journey Beyond Virginia
Lyrics
And so it goes
Things proceed as they do.
So much faster than it did five years ago
Time passes more quickly now compared to five years ago.
When I was a boy
Reflecting on childhood.
Now I know everything I wish I
Understanding everything wished for during past hardships.
Had when I was cold and so alone
Desire for what was lacking during lonely times in the past.
But now I know, now I know, now I know
Acknowledgment of gained knowledge.
And now I'm here and I'm hoping you are
Hopefulness for the whereabouts of someone in a warmer place.
Somewhere that it's warm like California
Comparing warmth to California.
And well, my dear
Wishing for things to come full circle like a love story.
Wish it came 'round full circle like my love
Regret over a missed opportunity to warn.
Oh, I could've warned ya
Confirmation of understanding.
But now I know, now I know, now I know, oh no
And this is my chance to get out of Virginia
Seeing a chance to leave Virginia for a new beginning.
All of the questions that you never asked
Unasked questions remaining.
This is my one hope, my torn apart love note
Hope pinned on a heartfelt message despite past silence.
When you had asked me and what I had
Reflecting on unspoken desires.
Oh, I want it bad
Intense longing.
And so I need some type of meditation
Seeking a form of calming the mind.
Maybe sleep to ease my mind
Considering sleep as a solution for mental peace.
And so it seems that I said just
Expressing thoughts openly.
What I wanted should be fine
Belief that expressing desires should be acceptable.
But I'm not fine
Admission of inner turmoil.
And now I know, now I know, now
I know, know, know, know, no, no
Reiterating newfound understanding amid distress.
And this is my chance to get out of Virginia
Repeating the desire to depart Virginia for a fresh start.
All of the questions that you never asked
Highlighting unanswered inquiries.
This is my one hope, my torn apart love note
Relying on a heartfelt message despite past silence.
When you had asked me and what I had
Reflecting on undisclosed personal matters.
Oh, I want it bad
Intensifying the longing for change.
And this is my chance to get out of Virginia
Emphasizing the desire to leave Virginia for a new beginning.
All of the questions that you never asked
Repetition of unasked questions.
This is my one hope, my torn apart love note
Dependence on a heartfelt message despite prior silence.
When you had asked me and what I had
Reflecting on undisclosed desires and responses.
Oh, I want it bad
Reinforcing the intense longing for change.
