I want apple butter, picnic and wine all the time
But nothing turned out like I planned
What happened, man? Man, what happened?
I don’t know
I want to go home
Sad incessant second guesses clawing at my mind again
I’m analyzing every word, questioning my every step
I made it this far, now these insecurities keep creeping in
They gather round and smile at me like old familiar friends
Half a block to go until I get back home
Half a block away but it’s miles before I’ll know if this was worth it
They say if you’re alive it’s better to smile, so I’ll try
Tomorrow when I’m leaving I’ll stop myself from thinking, where did I go wrong?
I know I had some reason for doing what I did
There’s a reason that I’m in this place
I wish I could remember
Remember what it is
It’s only half a block to go until I get back home
Half a block away but it’s miles before I’ll know if this was worth it
All this time spent moving forward
Going backwards in my mind
Looking for a piece of something lost
Terrified of what I’ll find
Half a block to go until I get back home
Half a block away but it’s miles before I’ll know if this was worth it
