about

I wrote this song during lockdown, March 2020.

lyrics

I’m sick and tired of these four walls
I’ve worn a path pacing these halls
And I can’t escape the truth that we’re so small
In the grand scheme of it all

I’m hangin in, just by a string
I search for you in everything
a twist of fate we never saw coming
Yeah, this changes everything

I wish I’d known it’d be the last time
That I’d hold your hand inside of mine
If I’d known I’da shown ya
Just how much you mean to me

My whole world’s spun outta control
I feel like a fish swimming in a bowl
And I’m going round in circles, but there’s no sound
From the inside looking out

I wish I’d known it’d be the last time
That I’d hold your hand inside of mine
If I’d known I’da shown ya
Just how much you mean to me

What if we could know ahead
Would it make the hurt hurt less
If we could know ahead
Would it ease the sadness that's pressed against my chest
So I can finally get some rest

I wish I’d known it’d be the last time
That I’d hold your heart inside of mine
If I’d known I’da shown ya
Just how much you mean to me
