In Your Hands

another tale of love
more like a lack there of
I hadn't done enough
the time again has come
the way I think of how we
have just parted our ways
at the end of the day
I didn't make a move on you
so I'll have to move on from you

don't really have a clue
the space I'll move on to
maybe the odds will cue
my number rolls to you
but chances are we will change
and the changes we've made
classify us as strange
by then I'll have moved on from you
unless I make a move on you
a move to start something new

Move On

Imposter Syndrome

While the track "Calm Down" was about panic attacks in the moment, "Champagne" is about panic attacks in the retrospective. Poor mental health can plague everyday life, and after a while it becomes fatiguing. When you avoid doing things in life for fear it will cause another attack, it becomes a disorder. Your whole life evolves around it, you're always on guard, and you're always taking into consideration how what you're about to do will affect you.

The first verse in "Champagne" talks about seeing random strangers out in the world and wondering what it would be like to trade lives with them. Freaky Friday style. The second verse touches on the same image. "I'm looking over shoulders and seeing everybody fine and how they don't mind" means exactly that. Everybody seems fine. But are they? Are they also dealing with internal demons and seeing me as a random stranger and thinking that I look fine? Is grass always greener on the other side?

In the chorus, "waking up with champagne" is a metaphor for all the blessing I have in my life. Even though I struggle with my own issues, I have to many things to be grateful for. Yet, this line is followed with "are you gonna be afraid every day?" If I have so much to be grateful for, why do I have to worry about struggling with my issues? Can't I just let it go, and enjoy my life? The rest of the chorus says "it comes in numbers. Would you have a life to trade for always?" This asks if it is so bad that I'd really want to permanently trade lives with someone? Again, is grass always greener on the other side?

"Champagne" asks a lot of questions. It's a reflective piece on a very after-the-fact perspective of mental health. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics:
Hold on, closer
I sense a dark light
Lord, be over
I see a way out

You'll have to move, go and see me try
You'll have to move when you should try
You'll have to move when it's not a fight
Carry the weight for miles and miles

Goodby notions
Emotions of trust
Heart is broken
Leave it to adjust

You'll have to move, go and see me try
You'll have to move when you should try
You'll have to move when it's not a fight
Carry the weight for miles and miles

Kill emotions all-in-one
Carry the weight, I don't know how
Kill emotions one more time
Carry the weight for miles and miles

All will go, will go ahead
All will go, it's not the end
All will go, will go ahead
All will go, will go, will go

You'll have to move, go and see me try
You'll have to move when you should try
You'll have to move when it's not a fight
Carry the weight for miles and miles

Kill emotions all-in-one
Carry the weight, I don't know how
Kill emotions one more time
Carry the weight for miles and miles
