Make of It Lyrics
[Refrain]
Want this love like everyone–
Want this love like everyone–
[Verse 1]
Winter got me feeling down
Next season, I'll come around
Reflecting back on it
You were my only friend
You really helped me out
But even now, I
[Refrain]
Want this love like everyone–
Want this love like everyone else
[Chorus]
We ran aground, I heard it loud
Can't pretend I ain't down
Didn't plan to nеver land
Just never thought that wе could drown
Therapy saw me naked
Twenty-six years, I've waited
Life isn't what I made it
My past is what I make of it
[Post-Chorus]
Make of it, make of it
Like these new shoes, I'll break 'em in
Old best friends, I'll pray for 'em
All my friends, I'll pray for 'em
Make of it, make of it
Like these new shoes, I'll break 'em in
Old best friends, I'll pray for 'em
All my friends, I'll pray for 'em
[Refrain]
Want this love like everyone–
Want this love like everyone else
[Verse 2]
Lost what I have never held
Hardly recognize myself
Brought to the deepest end
God, help me breathe again
Tell me, have I been alone
All along?
[Refrain]
I want this love like everyone–
Want this love like everyone else
[Chorus]
We ran aground, I heard it loud
Can't pretend I ain't down
Didn't plan to never land
Just never thought that we could drown
Therapy saw me naked
Twenty-six years, I've waited
Life isn't what I made it
My past is what I make of it
[Post-Chorus]
Make of it, make of it
Like these new shoes, I'll break 'em in
Old best friends, I'll pray for 'em
All my friends, I'll pray for 'em
Make of it, make of it
Like these new shoes, I'll break 'em in
Old best friends, I'll pray for 'em
All my friends, I'll pray for 'em
[Outro]
Want this love like everyone–
Want this love like everyone else

The intake, the dutiful, the vicarious and the world of people behind the interface. “Make of it” is a story in which worlds not only interconnect but bleed into one another in a messy display of beautiful-humanity. Often, we must drown to land, sink to swim, move to heal, & dive to the deepest...
What did the director have to say about the music video?
When Josh showed me this song in July 2020, I wrote this video treatment right away. Almost too quickly. I didn’t understand why so many specific characters and images came out of me upon hearing “MOI” for the first time. As the edit was finalizing, I realized that every aspect of this music video h...
