good vibes

This song paints an achingly beautiful picture of what it looks like when you're left all alone laying in a graveyard of fabric and memories realizing that other person made it so much more than a "Mattress"

Mattress

Lyrics:

I can read what was said
But I can’t read your mind
I can like every post
But I can’t take your ghost offline 

Now, I can’t write your script
I can’t even draft mine
Still I’m dying to see
If we’ll meet in act three
This time

Can we cut to take two?
Picture me next to you
Wanna cut to take two?
I'm in a close-up with you 

Let’s cut to take two 
Coming soon 
Just light from the moon 
Point and shoot 

When they said action, we knew 
That the next line is you 
That the next line’s all you 
I think the next line is you

Made a rez for tonight
Got my costume designed
They can’t fill up my cup
No one holds candles up 
To your shine

We can keep making scenes 
We can twist our plotlines
Now our ending is bare
But we know something’s there
Alright

Shall we cut to take two?
We keep on rolling straight through
Let’s cut to take two
I wanna zoom on you 

Fade to black 
I see a montage playing back
All the memories that might’ve been
Every take 
Could’ve been our big break
Now the sequel can begin

It’s not a wrap till take two
Picture me next to you
Wanna cut to take two?
I'm in a close-up with you 

Let’s cut to take two 
Coming soon 
Just the light from the moon 
Point and shoot 

When they said action, we knew 
That the next line’s all you 
I think the next line is you
I think the next line is you
I think the next line is you
This time I’ll act better too

Take Two

Lyrics:

Sometimes the road gets dark  
Try looking up
You'll see the stars  
They're guiding you back to your heart  

Step by step
It's the tricky part
And the only way to start  

Sometimes our shoes untied  
We stumble and fall
At least we tried  
It's time to rise and shine  
Your fears aside
Take it one step at a time  

Take it breath by breath  
Just the one foot in front of the next  
Just a left right left right left  
One step at a time  
One step at a time  

Our canvas could use some paint  
Our lives taking shape like clay  
A masterpiece every single day  
Step by step
Happy accidents come your way  

Take it breath by breath  
Just the one foot in front of the next  
Make it left right left right left  
One step at a time  
One step at a time  
One step at a time
