VOTEFORSAMMO - reflections Lyrics

I thought of a better life and I let it slide
This time
New wheels on a rusty bike
Face into the light
This time
Oh this time
This time
Caught my reflection staring
And shut it out
And I haven't phoned you lately
Not been around
But I will
And I'm hoping you pray for me
And that you lie awake for me still
Woke to your speakers blaring
A violent sound
No I couldn't hope to make it
Through another round
But I will
And I'm broken and in between
What I was and what I could be still
Seven nights ain't a long time
And I close my eyes
Half of my life
And wake in a bed and breakfast
Way out of town
And I know
I'm watching you stress
From half-written texts
That your parents send by the hour
Give me something to hold
And somewhere to go
Disappear a thousand times
In a thousand lives
And you still can't see
Sick of selling your seashells
Give up your seatbelt
Filling your lungs with the breeze
And your mind with the dreams
Of pacing round half-lit streets
And living with high beams
It's a nice scene
As you try breathe in
Seven nights ain't a long time
And I close my eyes
Half of my life
You say goodbye
And I look at myself
And I stay inside for
Half my life
And I don't know why
And I still just drive on
And I know that I don't show
All the things that I don't know
I can't ever go home
When it's now just a photo
Of another life and another ride
You say goodbye
And you say you'll be back
But I don't know that this time
Seven nights ain't a long time
And I close my eyes
Half of my life
You say goodbye
And I look at myself
And I stay inside for
Half my life
And I don't know why
And I still just drive on
And I know that I don't show
All the things that I don't know
I can't ever go home
When it's now just a photo
Of another life and another ride
You say goodbye
And you say you'll be back
But I don't know that this time
I thought of a better life and I let it slide
This time
New wheels on a rusty bike
Face into the light
This time
Oh this time
This time

I thought of a better life and I let it slide
This time
New wheels on a rusty bike
Face into the light
This time
Oh this time
This time
Caught my reflection staring
And shut it out
And I haven't phoned you lately
Not been around
But I will
And I'm hoping you pray for me
And that you lie awake for me still
Woke to your speakers blaring
A violent sound
No I couldn't hope to make it
Through another round
But I will
And I'm broken and in between
What I was and what I could be still
Seven nights ain't a long time
And I close my eyes
Half of my life
And wake in a bed and breakfast
Way out of town
And I know
I'm watching you stress
From half-written texts
That your parents send by the hour
Give me something to hold
And somewhere to go
Disappear a thousand times
In a thousand lives
And you still can't see
Sick of selling your seashells
Give up your seatbelt
Filling your lungs with the breeze
And your mind with the dreams
Of pacing round half-lit streets
And living with high beams
It's a nice scene
As you try breathe in
Seven nights ain't a long time
And I close my eyes
Half of my life
You say goodbye
And I look at myself
And I stay inside for
Half my life
And I don't know why
And I still just drive on
And I know that I don't show
All the things that I don't know
I can't ever go home
When it's now just a photo
Of another life and another ride
You say goodbye
And you say you'll be back
But I don't know that this time
Seven nights ain't a long time
And I close my eyes
Half of my life
You say goodbye
And I look at myself
And I stay inside for
Half my life
And I don't know why
And I still just drive on
And I know that I don't show
All the things that I don't know

Of another life and another ride
You say goodbye
And you say you'll be back
But I don't know that this time
I thought of a better life and I let it slide
This time
New wheels on a rusty bike
Face into the light
This time
Oh this time
This time
