For academic burnout and winter blues

lyrics

I know it's never gonna feel the way I thought it would
'Cause when everything is golden
Nothing feels good
Wish I could float above the neighbourhood, get swallowed by the sound
But nothing feels good, and I am planted on the ground.
It'll all fall away, I know
In the end it will be buried by the snow
And I will walk through all the streets I knew when I was all alone
And I will make my way to you, I'll make it through the wild walk home

And when I see your smile
I'll shake off the snow on the lino
Laughing like a child

And I remember the way the water glittered in the sun
And the way I split it open with my hands and how I spun
And swam and splashed around in circles, saw the algae growing green
And how the only thing I wanted was to be eighteen
I could see the way I'd glow
Like an actress I'd make all the world my show
But I am old enough to understand that I misunderstood
'Cause when everything is golden
Nothing feels good

And I'll stop swimming in a while
And come hold you close on the shoreline
Laughing like a child
