You travelled space and time and made it this far
Did you ever lose the moon while counting the stars?
If I change it’s for the better you can put that on my momma
Who told me better love like one day we’ll be gone
‘cause it’s everything
It’s everything
All the fire in my gut, if I live like I might die young
I’ll give ‘em that ‘till my eyes shut, tell ‘em this is what I love
And what I’ve felt—them highs and lows like waves
Hoping for a lifetime of good swell
Nothing you can tell me
That I probably haven’t already told myself
And I was trying to keep it together
All the things I’d do even though I knew better
Saying just let me grow up the only way I know how
Playing catch up like won’t things just slow down
They said this world can break you when you come as you are
I put together the pieces hoping to be greater than the sum of the parts
And I’ma be that much more certain this time
For all those days I couldn’t make up my mind
And if there’s a silver lining then I’ll let the sunshine hit my skin
And see what the tide brings
You travelled space and time and made it this far
Did you ever lose the moon while counting the stars?
If I change it’s for the better you can put that on my momma
Who told me better love like one day we’ll be gone
‘cause it’s everything
It’s everything
Why do we hurt the ones we love?
What’s that really a reflection of?
Things work out in mysterious ways
But you might miss it if you don’t see what to change
And if he ain’t willing to, my sister I understand why you left him
This time around you need to be selfish
And they direct the blame towards you
On the front lines, working two jobs
Longing for someone that’d do the same for you
It’s all so simple but a lot don’t understand it
I’ve seen some give up what’s real for something imagined
And you’ve been so strong
I’ve seen how people can come and go, seen how they can grow apart
So much they taught me won’t forget them
But on this journey only some are meant to stay
While most of them aren’t
And who am I to tell them otherwise when they know what they want?
I’ve been on both sides of that and I know it’s hard
I wonder about success, I wonder about love
I wonder about God, I could’ve sworn him and I talked
He said, this gon’ hurt a lot but I’ve got a plan for you
Won’t give you more than you can handle but that’s on you
Learned to treat myself like my own best friend
Even though sometimes I write a message to them but I don’t press send
Some people choose to stay stuck where the road left them
I just power through and keep going like there’s no dead ends
Looking back like I’ve gotten so far
But did I lose sight of what’s important? I hope not
If they matter to you hold them close to your heart
Life’s too short not to forgive and I’ve had to look at my own wrongs
And be grateful for those I’ve got
To make things right and welcome tomorrow with open arms
One day at a time, and don’t you know
When you go far enough around the globe you’ll end up right back home
You travelled space and time and made it this far
Did you ever lose the moon while counting the stars?
If I change it’s for the better you can put that on my momma
Who told me better love like one day we’ll be gone
‘cause it’s everything
It’s everything
