You're trying so hard
to impress
someone that you might never meet
and you've got that faded sweatshirt that reminds you of me
or him
or something
I'll grab my life by it's throat
and I'll squeeze
until it'll apologize
and I've pushed
everything aside
'cause I've been
way too busy waiting//
So hold
onto yourself
'cause once it's gone
it's for good//
I've spent the start of each new year telling myself
that I'm gonna get through it
but I lack the drive and motivation
or I just get way to drunk to do it
so I'll smoke
until my lungs tell me
there's something else I really
probably oughta fucking be doing
and I've pushed everything aside
'cause I've been
way too busy waiting//
So hold
onto yourself
'cause once it's gone
it's for good//
The aptly-named Floating in Space write songs as big as the night sky, misty layers of synth dotted with rolling, elegiac piano. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2016
