Navigating Life's Waves: A Reflection on Growth and Heartache
Lyrics
I felt that i could drift through life on all those pretty sentiments
I felt that I could navigate through life relying on beautiful sentiments.
They said everything turns out fine, don't know if they really meant it
They assured me that everything would turn out fine, but I'm unsure if they truly meant it.
I wasted so much of my time looking for ways to circumvent
I spent a considerable amount of time searching for ways to avoid difficulties.
This sinking feeling now i know its the same one that makes you rise
This sinking feeling I experience now is the same one that leads to growth.
I guess these sort of things just take their time
These experiences take time to unfold and make sense.
Sometimes its just enough to feel alright
Sometimes, merely feeling content is sufficient.
But is that all that i've been working for my life
Questioning whether achieving contentment is the sole purpose of my life's efforts.
Remember the first summer of our lives that we wished we were grown up
Recalling the first summer of our lives when we longed to be adults.
The first summer your heart got broken it wouldn't be the last
Remembering the first time your heart was broken, knowing it wouldn't be the last.
The summer you went out of town i stayed inside till you came back
During the summer you left town, I remained indoors until your return.
The summer that we grew apart but i guess that we were okay with that
Acknowledging the summer when we grew apart, accepting it as okay.
It's not my best but i guess its a start
Recognizing that my current situation may not be ideal, but it marks a beginning.
I've always felt that i was in the dark
Consistently feeling like I'm in the dark about things.
I'd like to tell you but it feels we're worlds apart
Wanting to express myself, but it seems like we are distant worlds apart.
I filled up so much of my past try'n to avoid the detriment
Reflecting on my past, where I tried to avoid harm and negative consequences.
Was always looking for the perfect time to take the smallest steps
Always searching for the perfect moment to take small steps forward.
I wondered why you always seemed so eager to get closer with
Questioning why you always seemed eager to become closer despite challenges.
That sinking feeling now i know its the same one that makes you rise
Realizing that the sinking feeling I have now is the same force that leads to growth and ascent.
