[Verse 1]
I ticked every box like I meant to
Got the keys, the vows, the view
Friends who mean it when they say they love me
Still I sleep in ‘til the light cuts through
I remember joy like it’s muscle memory
But my body won’t follow my mind
Like I’m stuck in a scene that keeps resetting
And I don’t care what I’ll find
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, “you’re so lucky, you’ve got it made”
But I’d trade this peace for a little ache
[Chorus]
’Cause nothing’s enough when the spark won’t light
When the highs don’t hit and the lows don’t bite
I’ve had more than most, but I still feel small
Like I’m just a guest in the life I built tall
And the worst part is, I don’t even fall
I just float
And that’s the loneliest feeling of all
[Verse 2]
I scroll through dreams like a shopping list
Pick a new one every week
But even the best ones taste like paper
By the time they hit my teeth
I want to want something so badly
But all my fires burn cold
And if I can’t believe in meaning
Then what’s left to hold?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They say, “it’ll come, just give it time”
But what if I’ve wasted every sign?
[Chorus]
’Cause nothing’s enough when the spark won’t light
When the highs don’t hit and the lows don’t bite
I’ve had more than most, but I still feel small
Like I’m just a guest in the life I built tall
And the worst part is, I don’t even fall
I just float
And that’s the loneliest feeling of all
[Bridge]
Maybe there’s no grand design
Maybe it’s just blood and time
But I still check the sky at night
Just in case I’ve missed a sign
[Outro - whispered/stripped down]
I used to cry at sunsets, now I drive right past
Thinking, how much longer will this detour last?
