Down
Down so low I forgot about being high
Lost direction seems pointless to try
Sounds are distractions and bring me no joy
Head pounds, these inactions serve to destroy
Golden has nothing to do with the silence here
Memories I’m holdin’ bring me violence and fear
Nothing as it seems, is this supposed to be our ever after
We made all those dreams, but I can’t hear the laughter
Searching my mind, trying to piece all of the broken smiles
But it’s like trying to find the letters to spell love among
Scrabble tiles
But the only thing I find is I, and you see in my game love
is spelled with I & U
Seems silly but if you just try, you’ll feel the love when U
& I are together too
Bored games I play to forget, I’m just talking to myself the
whole day through
Picturing us sharing a sunset, spending eternity together
just me and you
Down so low but keeping the flame, long as I have air babe
it burns
The direction home is still the same, song on your mind
making the turns
Mile after mile sing it loud, done taking time; you want to
share every minute
U pull up out front won’t I be proud, satisfied with life now
that we’re together in it
