You're All That Matters
Discovering Life's Worth in 'You're All That Matters' by Halcyon Wander
Lyrics
YOU'RE ALL THAT MATTERS
You are the most significant thing.
Leave me to myself so I can catch my breath and I can move ahead
Desire for solitude to recuperate and move forward.
Some roads are best walked alone
Some paths are best navigated independently.
These quiet woods become my own
Finding solace in serene surroundings.
I think I'll stay a while
Choosing to stay in this peaceful environment.
And now I'm falling asleep
Entering a state of slumber.
Praying you'll be nothing like me
Hoping the person won't follow the same destructive path.
Will I be around long enough to let you down?
Uncertainty about longevity and fear of disappointment.
I'll be the first to admit it
Open acknowledgment of personal shortcomings.
I've wasted my life waiting to die
Regret for a life spent anticipating death.
All it took was one smile
The transformative power of a single smile.
Now I need to live to breathe in the next one
A newfound appreciation for life and the desire to continue.
Leave me to myself so I can rest and then retrace my steps
Seeking isolation for rejuvenation and reflection.
Somewhere out here I left my hope
A sense of losing hope somewhere along the journey.
Until it's safe enough to grow
Waiting for the right conditions to rediscover hope.
And now I'm falling asleep
Returning to a state of sleep.
Praying you'll be nothing like me
Continued hope that the person won't follow a destructive path.
I wanna be around
Expressing a desire to be present for someone.
I wanna stay around
Longing to remain in the person's life.
I'll be the first to admit it
Reiteration of personal shortcomings and wasted time.
I've wasted my life waiting to die
Reflecting on a life spent in anticipation of death.
All it took was one smile
The transformative impact of a smile, reaffirming the will to live.
Now I need to live to breathe in the next one
Acknowledging the need to live and breathe for future smiles.
You're all that matters now
Affirmation that the person is now the most important.
