I needed some time
Wanted to take some space
Put the past behind
Relax, unwind
There was so much to think about
So many thoughts running around
It wasn’t that I didn’t need my friends
Don’t need my fam
I need them now even more
Would I had known that before?
I climbed mountains
I skied their slopes
I searched and questioned
What brought you here was how I would begin
Start a convo, make new friends
Unfortunately many times it would end
When more drinks got bought
I didn’t want want that
I wanted to share my thoughts
Not memories of times gone by
About the future, about our time to fly
I knew it before
Not when school got out
But when bored in class
The thoughts came easily when I let them
It was then when I started asking questions
Started trying to learn the lessons
I learned all I could
But I needed something more
Things that were closer to the other shore
Years gone by
Dreams coming true
Underneath this bright blue sky
This would happen I knew
But I had to do this
Had to take a trip
Load up the car, watch miles go by, tick tick
It started the day I settled
I knew I could make it
Each day, bit by bit
That’s how it works
I know it’s true
Because I believe it in my heart, through and through
