about

Trying to get back to who I used to be, but a better version

lyrics

now you're nothing more than a memory
but the way the picture look gives me the feeling
when your heart sinks real low
barbed wire 'round my throat
sorta feel like i'm drowning when i'm thinking of you

i see that building across the street
all worn down, old, torn up and dusty
i compare it to me, the only thing that makes sense anymore

when i see you next to me, i'll keep to myself
keep my hands in my pockets but my eyes are watchin'
pretending not to see you, who looks just like me
same hair, same shoes, same everything

i'll run to the rooftops and i'll run to my friends
i'll run to whatever makes sense to me
there's somethin' callin' to me
someone callin' to me
just haven't picked up yet

so i'll
retrace my steps
(retrace my steps)
back to the places i've lost myself
to dig deeper to find a way out
i'm keepin' to myself

i'm a hundred miles deep in my own little world
no one's talking, nothing happens,
and i don't have to make eye contact
with people walking by me in my dreams
but now i'm bleeding and there's no one to stop me from bleeding out

stuck at the red light, its not changing soon
now i'm stressed cause i've got a bunch of shit i need to do
what if it never changes
what if i never move
you're right i've just got those red light blues
(red light blues)

so i'll
collect my thoughts, connect the dots
form the picture from the words in my head cause i'm
diggin' deeper to find a way out
i'm still looking for myself
so i'll
retrace my steps
back to the places i've lost myself
to dig deeper to find a way out
i'm still keepin' to (lookin' for) myself

i've been stuck in the same fuckin' place since day one
i should finally take some time and learn how to shape up
cause with you not around, things started shaking up

i never felt so alone i never felt so cold
i need someone to hold these tired bones
cause at the end of the night you're the one i wanna come home too

so i'll retrace my steps back to you

so i'll
collect my thoughts, connect the dots
form the picture from the words in my head cause i'm
diggin' deeper to find a way out
i'm still looking for myself
so i'll
retrace my steps
back to the places i've lost myself
to dig deeper to find a way out
(things started shaking up)
i'm still lookin' for myself
