Big Ideas

from Solid Ground by Everything Ever

/

lyrics

I’ve got things to say and goals to accomplish
spent the winter break trying to be more honest
I sit dumbfounded in front of a keyboard
anxiously hoping for some kind of reward
I’m over-thinking and underproductive
the lure of a drunken night is so seductive
the reality of a drunken week sneaks up
my mistakes have repercussions but they’re never enough
to teach me a lesson
I answer every question with another question
Independence is such a joke when you have no car and you’re totally broke

Look at me
I’m wallowing
by haranguing myself with self-loathing
This is not okay
I’ve got to find a different way
-
I gotta be more friendly
I gotta sing more passionately
I’ll just throw away the filter and say what’s on my mind
-
I’m afraid to say that my existence is only worth as much as my stubborn insistence on never being satisfied
the smallest imperfection keeps me up all night
so here’s my confession: my fear of repetition borders on obsession
like my deepest thoughts are surrounded by quotes and I’m forced to sing songs someone already wrote

I wish I didn’t have anxiety because the people that inspire me go through with all my big ideas before my opportunity arises and I get to witness what I could’ve had
I might as well just squash my plans and pack it in if I still let this hold me back

I have no patience for anything that’s forced
the smallest doubt can bring about the biggest devastation
I didn’t love my girlfriend anymore
(She pushed you away, and at the end of the day)
this uncertainty is more than I can take
and life is too short to just keep your mouth shut and settle
