about

A song about not being able to stay in one place for too long

lyrics

It makes me stop and wonder why,
Why I am always going.
And every place I take myself
and stay for just a while.

I wish I could hold me down and find the ground, Sit myself still.

I’m blown away through the winds of change
and a craving for the new.
So I take myself, like a bird fleeing far,
and the seasons are doing a dance.
CHORUS
Then I could settle and see
what the messes and the losses could be,
and the craving and the boredom and the restlessness
could meet and just let them be.

And the grasses and the flowers could grow
like the creases on the faces I know.
Could it be that there’s reason to stay?
like a sleep in the afternoon sun.
