“The Mountain” tells a story of Shawn connecting with nature and finding himself. He comes back to being in the public view and realizes he doesn’t care what anyone else has to say, because he knows how he feels. This song shows the true peace and identity Shawn has found.
[Verse 1]
I took a trip to the mountains
I took a trip to the sea
I took a sip from the fountain
I took a pill to be free
[Chorus]
And you can say it was drugs
You can say it was God
You can say it was aliens
You can say I've lost the plot
You can say I'm a dreamer
You can say I'm too far gone
But I saw somethin' out there
So call it what you want
Mm
[Verse 2]
I spent a week in the jungle
Swore I came out a new man
Back to LA, I was humbled
Turns out I don't understand
[Chorus]
You can say it's love
You can say it's a cult
You can always blame the woman
It's gotta be her fault
You can say I'm a dreamer
You can say I'm too far gone
But I feel somethin' different
So call it what you want
Ooh, call it what you want
[Bridge]
Some days, I take things way too far
Some days, I have a change of heart
So say what you need to say
[Chorus]
You can say I'm too young
You can say I'm too old
You can say I like girls or boys
Whatever fits your mold
You can say I'm a dreamer
You can say I'm too far gone
But I've never been better
So call it what you want
