Call It What You Want
Searching for Something: Landon Gamble's Reflections on Youth and Lost Moments
Lyrics
You can call me anytime
You have the freedom to contact me at any time.
Or call it what you want
Or interpret it in your own way.
I'm on the edge waiting for a sign
I am at a critical point, eagerly anticipating a signal or indication.
So baby hold it up
So, darling, keep it going.
If you could give me just a piece of your time
If you can spare a moment, I won't ruin the opportunity.
I won't fuck it up
Expressing commitment not to mess things up.
We're twenty minutes in I'm doin alright
Twenty minutes into an experience, feeling satisfactory.
Then she looked me in the eyes and asked me if I
A moment where eye contact leads to a question.
Remember being young and the life of the party
Recalling youthful days as the life of the party.
Didn't care for college or how we made money
Disregarding college and financial concerns in the past.
But all we do now is search for something
Presently, the focus is on searching for meaning.
And figure out nothing (figure out nothing)
Facing the challenge of figuring out life's purpose.
Figure out something to talk about
Attempting to find a topic of conversation before boredom sets in.
Before she gets bored
Preventing boredom becomes a priority in the conversation.
She said I see you like to think a lot
Observation that the person thinks deeply.
But that's not how I roll
Rejecting conformity to a deep-thinking style.
If I could understand a piece of your mind
If understanding a part of the person's mind is possible, that would be sufficient.
That'd be all I want
A simple understanding would be satisfactory.
I tried to see it like she does from those eyes
An attempt to see things from the other person's perspective.
Oh no but then that's when I stopped, and thought
A pause for reflection on what was said.
Of what she said
Recollection of a previous statement.
Remember being young and the life of the party
Reflecting on youthful days as the life of the party.
Didn't care for college or how we made money
Not caring about education or financial matters in the past.
But all we do now is search for something
Current focus on searching for meaning in life.
And figure out nothing (figure out nothing)
Continuing the struggle to understand life's purpose.
Maybe I'd like to do it over again
Expressing a desire to go back and do things differently.
Cause I saw the blue in her eyes and it all made sense
A moment of clarity, understanding through the person's eyes.
Ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotion with vocalization.
Now I've been stuck thinking of what she said
Stuck in contemplation of the previous statement.
Remember being young and the life of the party
Recalling youthful days as the life of the party.
Didn't care for college or how we made money
Reiterating a lack of concern for education or financial matters in the past.
But all we do now is search for something
Continuing the search for meaning in the present.
And figure out nothing (figure out nothing)
The ongoing struggle to understand life's purpose.
Figure out nothing
Reiterating the difficulty in figuring things out.
Figure out nothing
Emphasizing the challenge of understanding life's complexities.
