every single moment that makes me glad to be here led to the making of this song. there is nothing more important than being able to grab onto those memories, especially when you start to feel like those moments may never come again. the person i wrote this song for is the cause of many of those great memories. this tune is a little thank you note for being the one who puts a smile on my face time and time again.
lyrics
chorus:
this is what happiness looks like to me
i said as i looked into your eyes
as i’ve gotten older it’s been harder to see
the good that appears in my life
verse 1:
it’s easy to hide behind the comfort of my walls
but then how would i find what i was searching for?
my deepest fears are roaming and lurking in these halls
all it took was walking out the door
verse 2:
now that i can come face to face with all of my mistakes
i see what held me back from feeling good
the things i needed were already in their place
i would reach them if i believed i could
chorus
verse 3:
i find my joy in the little things that appear every day
they’re easy to see, but often i overlook them
hold on to special moments, don’t let them slip away
enjoy them as they come, and live in the present
bridge:
when we’re sitting by the creek and i think about my week
i’m content because i’m with you
as we lay down in your bed and i cradle your head
i feel safe because i’m with you
while we rest in the grass and we share a long laugh
i’m at peace because i’m with you
and when you play me a good song i can’t help but sing along
because i love to share these things with you
my favorite album by cavetown. he's the one who inspired me to make music of my own. best to listen to when you're looking for a friend or grappling with finding your purpose. denseboy
i don't know what to say. i've listen to this album a lot. i've cried to this album a lot. i love it a lot. there are only so many emotions a person can feel and this album resonates with them all. denseboy
