not even gonna bother typing in third person for this. in 2019 my uncle passed away from pancreatic cancer. for nearly 3 years i repressed the memories i had with him cause whenever i would think about him i always remember he did. this song hopefully confronts those feelings head on so i won’t have...
(Verse 1)
I’m way too overconfident
I’m sinking in emotion
I’ve made it way too obvious
I’ll just follow the notion
I’d hate to be alone with my thoughts
So I bury them deep
But I wanna go back to Yosemite
(Chorus)
It’s been way too long
Why am I sitting here wondering if ur still gone
It fucking hurts to move on
Why am I sitting here cause I know you’re gone
(Verse 2)
Maybe I should’ve spent a little more time with you
I should’ve gotten off my phone too
Cause the only memories I have are few and far bеtween
I just wanna go back to Yosemite
(Chorus)
It’s been way too long
Why am I sitting herе wondering if ur still gone
It fucking hurts to move on
Why am I sitting here cause I know you’re gone
(Bridge)
Everything around me’s sensory
Cause all I have of you are picture frames and memories
Everything around me’s sensory
Cause all I have of you are picture frames and memories
I think I know why I’m writing this song
Cause repression only works for so long
I fucking know it’s impossible to remedy
Cause I thought I was gonna kill myself at 17
(Verse 3)
It’s taken me 3 years to finish this, nothing sat still
I haven’t moved on and who knows if I ever will
But some part of me knows you’ll always be with me
I just hope you were happy in Yosemite
(Outro)
We would stay up late at Madonna inn
I would fly in, you would ask me where I’ve been
Now I’m losing sleep thinking bout you now
I would toss and turn thinking I was too loud
It’s been a while, summer came and went
Petrichor’s what I’m breathing in
I’m better now than I ever was then
But I hope that one day I’ll see you again
