lyrics

When everybody else was at a friend's house
I was in this house with you
Whenever you would tell me how to live
I would believe your point of view
But now it's 2020
And I can see right through
The versions of me
We built without a clue

I am awake
I am alive
We are related but we are not intertwined
On my own terms
In my own time
Crossing lakes and crushing buildings in my mind

I love you and I miss you just the same
When we can't reach a common ground
I never wanna let you slip away
I never want to let you down
But I can't let you stay here
No, I can't hang around
Until you let me in
Until you let your guard down

I am awake
I am alive
We are related but we are not intertwined
On my own terms
In my own time
Crossing lakes and crushing buildings in my mind

Been spending time with myself, defining myself, I'm fine with myself

Been spending time

Awake
I am alive
We are related but we are not intertwined
On my own terms
In my own time
Crossing lakes and crushing buildings in my mind
In my mind
