lyrics

i could tell a thousand stories
but they'd never be enough
to get my point across to you
quite the way i'd want
but if everything i've said
is just enough to get it right
then i could, i could, i could, i could
fall asleep tonight

and it's lonely
as i imagine i'm alone
in a selfish metaphor that's
become a lot like home
and i'm only
alive for the first time
in a perfect sense it's all been new
with every day gone by

and i could reminisce about
the best things that i've done
but living in the past could never
satisfy this hunger that's been
plaguing me for days
as i pretend that i'm alright
just passing on the things that i've
wanted all my life

and it's lonely
as i imagine i'm alone
in a selfish metaphor that's
become a lot like home
and i'm only
alive for the first time
in a perfect sense it's all been new
with every day gone by

and the truth is that i'm only this because i make it so
and if i never give myself the time, i won't ever grow
this is the only thing that i have needed all this time
but i'm so scared, i'm just so scared to see the world outside

and it's lonely
as i imagine i'm alone
in a selfish metaphor that's
become a lot like home
and i'm only
alive for the first time
in a perfect sense it's all been new
with every day gone by
in a perfect sense it's all been new
with every day gone by
and i need to change or else i don't
deserve to be alive
