written years - are you okay? lyrics

Loading...

i found you last night on an acreage of concrete
both eyes peeled for something we could tell was missing
and if we don’t find it, we can never be free
those buildings enclosed in a valley of longing
with each footprint buried in the glow of our dampened city
i can keep on this way, you can go if you need to leave

if i had told you everything, would i still feel this lonely?
i tried my hardest, dear, just to let you be
but you and i both know it’s never that easy

are you okay? i think you kind of always knew
we don’t have to go if you don’t want to
i know you’re lost but what can i do?
i’ve written enough songs for you

could you please let me stay for just a little longer now
i can’t go home without knowing where we fell off
i can give you some time to try and figure yourself out
if you finally got away, boxed up everything that you had found
forgot the past and ran off back to your hometown
would you still call us friends or would i still let you down?

are you okay? i hope you found your way through
we didn’t have to go ’cause i didn’t want you to
i know you’re lost but what could i do?
so all at once, please, all at once, my friends
scream until your voice has lost its innocence
i know there’s nothing i can do
’cause i’ve written enough songs for you

now every morning train becomes a lifeboat
swarmed by people stuck searching for their homes
this isn’t mine but where else can i go?
so i retreat into black and burrow into memories
tell myself that you never meant anything
well you know i’m f-cking lying, i keep lying with everything i say

so i plant the tree lines outside, build a barricade to keep you out
dig a hole and crawl far into the ground
lay the branches so i’ll never see you around
then find a dry place and sit down on my knees
scratch the dirt until my fingers start aching
keep searching for something i think i can use
and tell myself i’ve written enough songs for you
