libby garnett - the stars have an icarus lyrics

i know how you love the sky
but don’t forget we’re here on earth
and honestly, the time never stops just ticking by
and it’s great, it’s good you found something you love
but there’s time for that, and there’s time to be here
and you’re just a kid, you’ve got like sixty more years

so go slow, now, slow down, stell, and don’t think too hard
look around sometimes, not just up at the stars
there’s so much to see, and believe what you want
but hate to break it to you kid, you haven’t seen it all

thеre’s nothing wrong with out of focus, but dear icarus
if nothing’s evеr enough, it’s hard to settle for less
if nothing’s ever enough, it’s hard to settle for less
if nothing’s ever enough, it’s hard to settle for less
if nothing’s ever enough, it’s hard to settle for less
if nothing’s ever enough, you have to settle for less

i know, i know, they means well
and i could stand to hear a “go slow, now, slow down, stell”
but all my life it’s been “go slow, now, slow down, stell”
but maybe i was just never made to sit still
and maybe i will never get a chance to sit still
cause it’s just my thoughts they race and i can’t keep up
and my mouth runs so fast sometimes i slip up, and say
something that i probably shouldn’t have said
it’s like my thoughts go so fast, they can’t stay in my head
and it doesn’t bother me, thinking a thousand things at once
but what to me is being me, to them is just out of focus
it’s just things captures me, and i’m sorry i zone out it’s
not that i don’t think what they’re saying is important
it’s just that brief second of purpose
that one, undefinable moment
where my mind can “go slow, now, slow down” and i zone out
but in those moments they call distracted
i swear i’ve never felt more focused
and i know that i ask questions that
probably don’t even have answers
and i should spend less time wondering if i should even ask those
and spend more time thinking of how college is starting soon
and i swear, i do, i’m trying, i know that that stuff is important too
and i know sometimes, when i ask these questions
it messes me up
like i go so fast, but i ask so many, i can’t answer fast enough
and i know if i took a deep breath, slowed down, i’d breathe easy
but if i live my life like that, i know i won’t really be living, and
i just want to live
i just want to live
i just want to live
but sometimes i feel like i’m just standing here screaming that
i exist
i exist
i exist
but it’s not like there’s anyone who doesn’t believe me, they say
“you’re just a kid”
i’m just a kid
but what if this is it?
there’s only so much time left to be living, and
i just wish
it wouldn’t slip
through my fingertips
i just wish i could let myself live, without being scared
i’ll come to die, and see i never did
no, i know i am living
i’m starting to see that just maybe
the destination is just the journey
starting to think the only time that i’ve wasted
is the time that i let myself worry
about wasting time, and living right
when if you’re scared to die, you’ll never live your life
and sometimes it feels like it’s just me
is it just me who’s wondering?
