Down

Down so low I forgot about being high

Lost direction seems pointless to try

Sounds are distractions and bring me no joy

Head pounds, these inactions serve to destroy

Golden has nothing to do with the silence here

Memories I’m holdin’ bring me violence and fear

Nothing as it seems, is this supposed to be our ever after

We made all those dreams, but I can’t hear the laughter

Searching my mind, trying to piece all of the broken smiles

But it’s like trying to find the letters to spell love among Scrabble tiles

But the only thing I find is I, and you see in my game love is spelled with I & U

Seems silly but if you just try, you’ll feel the love when U & I are together too

Bored games I play to forget, I’m just talking to myself the whole day through

Picturing us sharing a sunset, spending eternity together just me and you

Down so low but keeping the flame, long as I have air babe it burns

The direction home is still the same, song on your mind making the turns

Mile after mile sing it loud, done taking time; you want to share every minute

U pull up out front won’t I be proud, satisfied with life now that we’re together in it
