i’m done thinking about it,
you’re never gonna get what you want
so why feel guilty about it?

[lichen @mosstwigs]

look to the sky, where the sign will be shown
heaven and earth and the king on his throne

[lichen @mosstwigs]

promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.

[lichen @mosstwigs]

i need an anchor, god, i wanna be satisfied
cause i'm tired of feeling like a shadow in my life

[lichen @mosstwigs]

you were young,
you thought you didn't have to care about anyone
but you're older now and wish that you could

[lichen @mosstwigs]

they look at me like i’m a scar upon their perfect skin
perfect to only them

[lichen @mosstwigs]

you'd say you love me
and look in my eyes,
but i know through mine
you were looking in yours

[lichen @mosstwigs]

so you can stick your words of comfort
and you can take your well wishes too

[lichen @mosstwigs]

she said: “oh tell me darling do you think we have a future?”
“well maybe, kind of, i'm pretty sure we've two between us”

[lichen @mosstwigs]

you know i’d suffer a million lifetimes of loneliness for just one with you.

[lichen @mosstwigs]

god, he loved flying with you, maverick. but he would've done it anyway... without you. he'd have hated it, but he would've done it.

there used to be a little girl. there used to be curiosity, and innocence, and there wasn’t anymore.

[lichen @mosstwigs]

he would always resent me for what i did. why should he resent her too?

[lichen @mosstwigs]

there used to be a little girl, living in a very small house in a very small town. there isn’t a little girl there anymore. they do not last very long.

[lichen @mosstwigs]

i can't remember, it's all a blur,
the person you are and the person you were

[lichen @mosstwigs]

i know that no news, no news is good news
but that always felt backwards,
and i still haven't heard from you

[lichen @mosstwigs]

“i have no choice.”
“i thought you said there's always a choice.”
“you're right. i'm making mine.”

[lichen @mosstwigs]

tomorrow i'll do things different,
tomorrow i'll be brave
tomorrow i'll be brave,
tomorrow i'll be brave
(you'll make me brave)

[lichen @mosstwigs]

if i believe in one thing - just one thing. i believe in her

[lichen @mosstwigs]

the world is not in your books and maps. it's out there.
