it's a stream of consciousness ramble, here's the jist of it:
vocal ramble 1: take me back, summer 2011 when I was 17 years old, I didn't really know anything. wandering around in all the fields and feeling powers deeper inside, I didn't understand, I cried. take me back, can you ever really go back? what does that mean? I'm getting old and it's cold here and I'm not who I was as a kid, take me back. I don't understand, nostalgia's got me in its grasp and I can't let go. I don't know. take me back to the rivers and trails and careless days that weren't really careless, nostalgia just makes it seem ok, even when I suffered like anyone else as a child.
vocal ramble 2: I just wish I could go back to when I was 17 years old, feeling a light beyond this world. but that wasn't really what it was like, I still had lots of problems and was feeling kinda weird. I wanna go back still, nostalgia's a weird kinda feel and it's got me in its grasp. I guess that's what I really want, wandering fields and rivers, wandering lakes, living in a fantasy. I guess that's not really possible, I've got a lot of problems, the world's kind of scary. but I wanna go back, back to the time that didn't exist, I want to be young again. I'm still young I guess, but it's slipping, time's never stopping and I'm going.

fast up a hill and slow down the other side
gleaming in the light, a lake and a perfect silence
sit still, breathe, linger here a while with past lives
are they really gone or just floating outside an open window?
like spring rain washes snow away
in sudden shifts or a quiet subtle change
I've held on, but now I'm letting go
first dipping toes and now diving right in
summer with the frogs and the mud and heat forever
so afraid of leaving behind who I as before
I never saw the spring still blooming outside my window
like sunlight falling on the leaves
a shadow shifts, I'm learning how to face
the fear of finally letting go

I thought of you last night
conversations running through my mind
I thought about your voice
softest boy out in the moonlight
talk about your day
I wanna hear anything you've got to say
and when you sigh
I wanna kiss you tonight

I woke up in your arms
I'd never thought of it like that before
I still remember what
it feels like to be a child
but now time stretches on weirdly
I went back to the mountain pipeline
I tried to feel the things I used to
but nostalgia turned to lime
and through the cracks came clarity
I never wanted to be bigger
but living means you've gotta grow up
outside there's still power lines
and I'm still trying to understand
what I mean when I say that there's a light
am I looking away most of the time?
underneath my lack, underneath my lying smile
in all my poems, at the intersection of our minds
and in the shadow moving through all our lives
there's a hidden, deadly lack of insight

oh, where do I start
when there's no end
are we ever apart
I thought I knew my heart
but you showed me that
I was just a child
I never expected to end up here today
your wave never crashed, it just carried me away
and there's no end in sight
but hello, bright brand new start
how could I doubt something so simply true
when your arms are wrapped around me
I feel safe at home, you've opened up a window
