about

For this song, it was a song I had in the vault for a long time and was technically one of the first few songs I wrote. It was meant to be a checkpoint in my life, but turned out to be a foreshadowing of my future. Something like that haha.

lyrics

Prechorus:
There you go
You go again
Leaving me
We are not
We're not pretend
I think of you
I know you think of me too

Chorus:
Halcyon days
Those long days
And long nights
We were all right
Halcyon Days
Those long days
And long nights
Maybe nothing has changed

Verse 1:
You found him
I found her
The things I always needed
Were the things I always wanted
I wanted the best for you
Calmness
Feeling like I'm lost at sea
This moment,
Feeling like it's gotta be
There are things we should discuss
And I know it isn't much
Communication is a must
I can only put my trust in you
It was only you
It was always you
That's all we knew

Prechorus:
There you go
You go again
Leaving me
We are not
We're not pretend
I think of you
I know you think of me too

Chorus:
Halcyon days
Those long days
And long nights
We were all right
Halcyon Days
Those long days
And long nights
Guess I have to let you go

Verse 2:
We were supposed to love
The timing was never right
Things we've given up
The words that we would never write
With you in my arms now
Gracefully fall down
And find yourself, better know what you're worth
Problems so small now
Wish that you'd call now
Cuz you know I deserve it
