Back Deck
Contemplating Life: Finding Home in Reflection
Lyrics
I'm on the back deck contemplating life tryna figure things out
I am on the back deck, reflecting on life, attempting to understand things.
I've never really had it figured out, why am I tryna start now?
I've never had life completely figured out, so why attempt to start figuring it out now?
Everyone I love holds me accountable
People I care about hold me responsible or answerable for my actions.
It's heavy cause I got myself a heart of gold
It's burdensome because I possess a genuinely kind and caring nature.
And when it's done tickin' I hope that I've made em all proud
When my life is over ('heart of gold' stopped ticking), I hope to have made everyone proud.
Everywhere I go, I dream about comin' home
Regardless of where I am, I often daydream about returning home.
It's the only place that takes me to my zone.
Home is the only place where I feel truly comfortable and in my element.
I hear that morning dove, coffee cup, tying up a hook to my line
I hear the sound of a morning dove, holding a coffee cup, and preparing to fish.
Am I fishin for the answers or pretending that I got some free time
Am I searching for answers while fishing, or am I just pretending to have free time?
I got some roaches I been savin' for a rainy day
I have some challenges or difficulties that I've been saving for a difficult time.
I roll em up and write something that resonates
I face those challenges by rolling them up and expressing my thoughts in a meaningful way.
And it's like 95 Fahrenheit but I think I'm stayin' outside
Despite the hot weather, I prefer staying outdoors and maintaining a positive mindset.
Everywhere I go, I dream about comin' home
Similar to line 7, I daydream about returning home wherever I go.
It's the only place that takes me to my zone.
Home is the only place that brings me peace and comfort.
I just need some time alone, out on my patio
I need some time alone on my patio to rejuvenate.
Where I got everything I need to feed my soul
My patio has everything I need to nourish my inner self or find solace.
I'm on the back deck contemplating life tryna figure things out
I am back on the back deck, still contemplating life without having everything figured out.
Never really had it figured out, I'm not gonna start now.
Consistent with line 2, I've never had life completely figured out, and I won't start trying now.
