Places
Finding Ground: A Journey of Self-Discovery through Maria Neckam's 'Places'
Lyrics
This is where it always ended, and that's where I'll start
This is where the journey always ended, and I will begin from this point.
You never taught me how to mend it, but that's alright
You never showed me how to fix it, but I accept that.
Everything I've ever done was to keep it from you
Everything I've done in the past was an attempt to hide it from you.
But maybe I'm done running away from me
Perhaps I'm finished with avoiding myself.
Away from you in me
Choosing not to escape from the internal conflicts involving you and me.
'Cause I don't ever want to live to
Because I don't want to live just to continually search for stability.
Keep looking for ground
Constantly seeking a stable foundation in life.
Keep looking for ground
Repeating the search for stability.
Keep looking for ground
Persistently looking for stability in all the wrong places.
In all the wrong places
Emphasizing the struggle to find stability in inappropriate places.
I just needed you to love me, but sometimes we can't
I just needed your love, but sometimes it's beyond our control.
It took me almost half a lifetime to understand
It took a significant part of my life to comprehend.
I looked at you and learned that human, that's not what we are
Observing you, I realized that being human doesn't define who we are.
We just need to get it right, but I've changed my mind
We only need to correct our path, but I've reconsidered.
I've changed my mind on you
I've changed my perspective about you.
'Cause I don't ever want to live to
Because I don't want to exist solely to search for stability.
Keep looking for ground
Continuously seeking a solid ground in life.
Keep looking for ground
Persistently looking for stability.
Keep looking for ground
Reiterating the search for stability in all the wrong places.
In all the wrong places
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to find stability in inappropriate places.
