Amazing
Chasing Magic and Embracing Impermanence: Amazing by Ryan Caraveo
Lyrics
These moments are fingerprints, I hope you enjoy 'em 'cause
These moments are unique and distinct, and I hope you appreciate them because...
As soon as you blink, that's it
Once you blink or miss these moments, they're gone.
Even though I'm here alone
Despite being physically alone, I still sense your presence and influence.
I still feel your pheromones linger through my ligaments
I still feel your scent or essence permeate through my body.
I was chasin' magic and I always almost had it
I was pursuing something extraordinary, and it was always within reach but never fully attained.
It was always almost worth it
Despite the struggle, it was nearly always worthwhile.
I always need a minute, I'm always almost finished
I often require a moment to gather myself; I'm almost done or close to completion.
It's always almost perfect
Perfection is almost achievable, but never quite.
I've held trophies and I've seen gold
I've achieved recognition and seen valuable things, but none have shone as brightly as you.
But they never did glow like you
Your radiance surpasses anything I've encountered.
Begged me to be here, said it right in my ear
You pleaded for my presence, whispered it directly to me,
I just wish it didn't go right through
But unfortunately, it didn't fully resonate with me.
And she said, "You're amazing
She expresses admiration, calling you incredible,
I hope you get whatever you're chasin'
Wishing you success in your pursuits,
Before it turns us into strangers
Before the situation separates you both,
I believe in you, but I can't stay here"
She believes in you but can't remain in this circumstance.
"Even though you're amazing
Reiteration of your amazing qualities,
I hope you get whatever you're chasin'
Hope for your success,
Before it turns us into strangers
Before the situation drifts you apart,
I believe in you, but I can't stay here"
Belief in you but inability to stay.
These moments are fingerprints, I hope you enjoy 'em 'cause
Reiteration of the uniqueness of these moments,
As soon as you blink, that's it
Once missed, they're gone forever.
We don't ever get a repeat
We never get the same moments again,
Eyes get a little weepy every single time I think of it
Recalling these moments brings tears to my eyes.
Always tryna make it happen
Always striving to make things happen,
Always flippin', always stackin'
Continuously working and accumulating,
Always put you off 'til next week
Delaying attention to you until later,
Next week never came
But that future never arrived,
Just me, another day all alone in these bedsheets
Leaving me alone in bed, day after day.
I've had losses that were colossal, but they never felt like this
I've faced significant losses before, but none have affected me like this.
Always so attached to takin' over the map
I was so focused on conquering everything,
That I didn't even see you slip
That I didn't notice when I lost sight of you.
And she said, "You're amazing
Reiteration of admiration,
I hope you get whatever you're chasin'
Wishing for success in your pursuits,
Before it turns us into strangers
Before the situation separates,
I believe in you, but I can't stay here"
Belief in you but an inability to stay.
"Even though you're amazing
Reiteration of your amazing qualities,
I hope you get whatever you're chasin'
Hope for your success,
Before it turns us into strangers
Before the situation drifts you apart,
I believe in you, but I can't stay here"
Belief in you but an inability to stay.
