Downtown
Discovering Self-Expression in Downtown Vibes
Lyrics
I started meeting up with you downtown
I began meeting with you in the downtown area.
And I knew that I could be myself now
I felt comfortable being myself around you.
Despite the things I think most of the time
Despite frequent negative thoughts, I am generally okay.
I am fine
I am fine.
Plain jeans and plain tees
Wearing simple clothes, envisioning dreams I hadn't considered before.
Dreaming dreams I never dreamed
Dreaming dreams that were previously unimaginable.
Cold sheets and a fall breeze
Feeling a chill in bed with cold sheets and a cool breeze.
And it's so sweet
Experiencing a sweet moment.
You think just like me
Finding someone who shares similar thoughts with me.
I started meeting up with you downtown
Continuing to meet you in the downtown area.
And I knew that I could be myself now
Feeling the freedom to be myself around you.
Despite the things I think most of the time
Despite persistent negative thoughts, I am generally okay.
I am fine
I am fine.
I can blame some place
Assigning blame to a place for influencing my thoughts negatively.
For the way that I think
Blaming a location for my negative thinking.
Myself into a corner
Confining myself mentally.
Of this box I create
Creating a metaphorical box for myself.
Every time I feel better
Each time I feel better, I forget about past sadness.
I forget that I was ever sad
Forgetting that I was once sad.
It's not so bad
The current situation is not as bad as it seems.
You saved my seat
You reserved a place for me.
And let me be
Allowing me to be myself.
It's just the way you speak
Your way of speaking is liberating for me.
That sets me free
Your communication sets me free.
If not for you
If it weren't for you, I might have returned to a previous location.
I would have moved back
I would have moved back to a different place.
And I'd still be writing
I would still be expressing suburban dissatisfaction.
Suburban blues
Expressing dissatisfaction with suburban life.
But I started meeting up with you downtown
Continuing the pattern of meeting downtown.
And I knew that I could be myself now
Feeling the freedom to be myself around you.
Despite the things I think most of the time
Despite persistent negative thoughts, I am generally okay.
I am fine
I am fine.
And I could blame some place
Attributing negative thoughts to a place.
For the way that I think
Blaming a location for my negative thinking.
Myself into a corner
Confining myself mentally.
Of this box I create
Creating a metaphorical box for myself.
Every time I feel better
Each time I feel better, I forget about past sadness.
I forget that I was ever sad
Forgetting that I was once sad.
It's not so bad
The current situation is not as bad as it seems.
