On the surface, “soju” might be best described to have an upbeat pop-centric sound, but the song itself is about dealing with death and reflecting on the notion that life sometimes feels like random moments in time that are out of your control. For most people, they wouldn’t know that I wrote “soju”...
Staring out the window
Reaching for a North Star
Waiting just to wake up
From this nightmare
Where you could be
Right back in my arms
Dancing to the limbo
Stuck here in the middle
You tell me that it’s simple
But I could Paint
A thousand different pictures
Of what is wrong
But if we turn the clocks back
A couple dials
We should throw them out
Because time ain’t ours
Oh, but you fill me up
And I can feel it now
She said, “Life is just a symbol
For the pain that you can get through
Like a camel through the needle
Everyday people are just
A thousand versions
Of who they were"
So love me like we’re equal
Cause if there is no sequel
I rather live in
Peaceful understanding
That we believed
Our every single words
And if we turn the clocks back
A couple dials
We should throw them out
Because time ain’t ours
And if we burned these blocks down
A couple miles
We could build them up
Until the sky was ours
Cause I’ve lived, I lived
One hundred years of solitude
With you
And never questioned
"What gives? What gives?
Anyone the right to, right to
Believe these superstitions
Outside of human intuition?
‘Cause tonight
It's enough for me to know
That you and I
Exist inside this paradise
And if we turn the clocks back
A couple dials
We should throw them out
Because time ain’t ours
And if we burned these blocks down
A couple miles
We could build them Up
Until the sky was ours
