about

Written during my time at UT.
Observing the mass amount of students. Remembering relationships and looking for new beginnings. We were all here for a reason, some of us were still unable to find what we were looking for. Even though we are all strangers, we share the same scars.

lyrics

These crowded campus sidewalks
Bring discomfort to my life
Spark the thoughts of the severed friendships
Over time

My mind can't help but roam
As my body slowly strolls
Through the shadows all alone

I'll pace around and look down at my cell phone.
It's the same screen it was a minute ago.
And for me, just tells the time.

Some random girl just smiled at me.
I smiled back.
I wonder what she's thinking.
Does she think I'm cute?
Does she want to talk with me?
Or.. am I just overthinking?

Me and my friends are fine with these scars.
