about

So I recently graduated high school. During my senior year, right around the time we were turning in college applications, I had a giant wave of panic as the realization that I was gonna move out and do adulty things hit me like a bus. During this time, I kept reminding myself that this terror was only temporary, (ha) and that everything would be fine. As I type this, It's the summer before college starts, I head off in a month and I feel a lot better than I did when I wrote this song. Still anxious as hell about it though, but more excited.

lyrics

It feels like the past few years have been a collage of old pictures
that I always tend to insert in my mind
a throw back to all the simple times
of camping out in my back yard as a kid
or going to a friend's house without having to ask
some stupid fucking question about SAT's
or what they want to major in, what am I gonna do
now that I'm approaching the end of high school
which has already fucked me hard
im not looking forward to a fresh new start in the race
because I'm already stuck at the starting line

so take what you want
fuck it take it all
I have no use of myself
but I can't be somebody else

And I've been sending in my college applications
without a destination
no sense of who I am, only dreams too big for action
I always told myself to dream big and never settle for anything less
well lately I can't settle for anything so I've been sitting at home in bed
I've called quits on all objectives, so whats the fucking point
I feel trapped within this mindset of a scared and lonely schoolboy
and one day I might just laugh at all the lines within this song
well that thought brings me solace, I hope that I find solace

There's overflowing thoughts inside my head
and they play on repeat but almost never willingly
and everything will be okay
thats what they all say
I wish this temporary terror would just fade away

And I live in the present not the future
and that single trait has sculpted me into a failure

The tidal wave, it can't be found
the day is good, at least for now
We're okay, we're okay
Now the tidal wave, is in line of sight
its beautiful, everything is alright
were okay, we're okay
Now the tidal wave, is getting close
it's safe to say that no one knows
if were okay. We're okay
Now the tidal wave, it crashes down
and everything gets swept out
we're not okay. We're not okay

And I've been sending in my college applications
without a destination
