[Intro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
[Verse 1]
Hello, Life, I'm back again
Been walking blind and lost in time
Been falling to my end
Miss Sunshine, moonlight
Dangerous years and painless times
Of falling, falling
[Refrain]
But I'm trying to find my wings now
So will you watch me on my way down?
'Cause what I want's what I want
And what I say's what I say
I'm floating on a tidal wave
[Pre-Chorus]
Falling
Falling
[Chorus]
God willing, time won't end
Freeze me in the summer, keep me with my lover
I'm praying for purpose to make it out alive, yeah
2020's feeling funny but fine
I won't be 23 for the rest of my life, so
I'm thankful for the time
[Verse 2]
I've been terrified and scared of dying for some
Time is ticking hope away
The same mistake since yеsterday
Is there a point? Is thеre a purpose?
I'm getting old and I'm very nervous
You're not a punk, you were born in white
You don't have a voice. You don't have a vibe
But there's a beautiful mind within
God knows these songs and they're special to Him
A tree has been growing, my brother's and sister's
A Punk is conflicted, this life in a picture, one good mask, one bad
God's love's a dove clutching a branch
Flying with us while we're falling
[Refrain]
But I'm trying to find my wings now
So will you watch me on my way down?
'Cause what I want's what I want
And what I say's what I say
I'm floating on a tidal wave
[Chorus]
God willing, time won't end
Freeze me in the summer, keep me with my lover
I'm praying for purpose to make it out alive, yeah
2020's feeling funny but fine
I won't be 23 for the rest of my life, so
I'm thankful for the time
[Outro]
Fly!
All the troubles in your life
Will pass you by
Like a dove in the sky
Fly!
Instead of falling, fearing height
Remember
It's your sky
It's beautiful
It's a gift
It's your life

I wrote this song the first week of January, 2020. I drove from my hometown in Provo, Utah to Medford, Oregon to spend a weekend with Kellin Quinn from Sleeping With Sirens. He has been my closest mentor in music for the past couple years, after he found and managed my previous band, Roseburg. Our b...
