SOMETHING THAT I MISSED
STORY
About the slow-burn realization that something's been off for a while — and the suspicion that you missed the moment it changed. The kind of song that writes itself when you're trying to figure out if it's you, it's them, or it's everything.
LYRICS
You don’t have to tell me lies
We don’t really have to talk at all
It feels lately we are simply marking time
When I feel, anything at all
And you’ve been looking for a reason, here it is
I’ve been searching for an opening in this world of doubt
If we’re just going through the motions with no reason
Time to learn to live with what we could not leave without
I keep my mind in the middle
I try to see it for what it is
Haunted all this time by a sinking feeling
There must be something that I missed
You’ve been looking for a reason, here it is
I’ve been searching for an opening in this world of doubt
If we’re just going through the motions with no reason
Time to learn to live with what we could not leave without
And I know, nothing stays the same
The past just fades away and only memories remain
One chance, one love, one mistake I made that I just can’t regret enough
I keep my mind in the middle
I try to see it for what it is
Haunted all this time by a sinking feeling
There must be something that I missed
