Behind The Lyrics

This song is about me moving across the country in hopes to find myself, and start new. I moved from MA to Los Angeles because I was tired of the same routine, same people, and same streets I would see everyday. Not that there was really anything wrong with that, I just felt I needed a change, and thought there must be more out there for me. I was reminiscing on how things used to be so much easier when I was younger and I wanted that fresh start feeling again.

 Moving away was definitely an amazing experience and helped me find myself a lot, but the problem was, after a while, I found myself thinking the same way. Everything was great but I kept thinking “is this all there is”? The same routine, the same streets, the same day over and over again? I found myself thinking about how much I missed the past and that made me think… “is there more than this”? All of my best times can’t already be in the past, there must be more to life than just thinking back on old memories and living the same routine over and over again. Now, I know I definitely have things to look forward to in life and there will be amazing times to come… I just sometimes get in this mindset. I get worn out from the same routine and start to romanticize the past and how much I miss my old friends. I thought moving somewhere new would change my mundane life, which it did for a while, but inevitably those thoughts came back. I guess I discovered that, to me, it's the people I surround myself with that make my life worth living. And I want to be around those people to create new, amazing memories in the future. Even Though there will be mundane days, I need to appreciate the past, and know that many better days are coming.
