Don't Panic

from One Whale Of A Tale by Sorakujira

/

lyrics

With all these nights spent painting flowers and towns on fire
like the awkward silence we create
the sun it sets, I can see my breath and I count the reasons left
before I had a reason left to change

these little love songs sad but true some of them wrote for
you and some were written to fill space
I'm not the same kid I was back then and I'd do anything
I just want to pretend I'm OK

I think I'm getting over pretending that we're older
but young enough to still forget our fate
the colors of an old soul, let these broken hearts go
of everything we try so hard to change

you left these notebooks in the rain to wash away the pain
and live in the things we never know
I understand what you did back then I wasn't anything worth
hanging on to just for show

why do we celebrate our age? We'll die alone someday
and someday I will learn to hope
Somebody bring on the coming fall the wait will kill us all.
I'm still looking for a way to cope

I think I'm getting over pretending that we're older
but young enough to still forget our fate
the colors of an old soul, let these broken hearts go
of everything we try so hard to change

You ask her what it's all worth and tell her that it still hurts
to ignore all the things we never say
and I think the truth in your verse is maybe things are much worse
we wanna close our eyes and fade away

into the song and dance that we did last fall
empty out your pockets to replace with all
your faults and regrets, reasons left to shine
and we've been burning books our whole lives
wasted on the roads we live by
the way these new clocks came broken

so take your time dear where you are lets burn down the bar
across the street from where you live
to every night I counted stars and almost crashed my car
I can't stand thinking back to then.

And everyone that I know right now, they say they hate this town
but nobody wants to let it end
Just break the door down let it go. We're all just ghosts of
who we were when the story first began

I think I'm getting over pretending that we're older
but young enough to still forget our fate
the colors of an old soul, let these broken hearts go
of everything we try so hard to change

You ask her what it's all worth and tell her that it still hurts
to ignore all the things we never say
and I think the truth in your verse is maybe things are much worse
we wanna close our eyes and fade away
