Kirstyn Hippe | toward the sun — original song by kirstyn hippe @xKirstynHippe | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
hi 👋🏼 it's been awhile. lyrics below ↓
I can’t do what I love unless it’s perfect
I’m not putting in the work but I deserve it
Thought I found myself but I’m just further away
It’s only ever in me to get through the day
Cuz I spend my waking hours at a desk
I’m thankful for the money, but my brain’s a fucking mess
And I can’t seem to quiet the humming in my chest
That says “I thought you were gonna be better”
Everyone I know seems like they’ve got it figured out
Having kids or starting jobs that they really care about
I don’t think I’m jealous but I’m starting to doubt
Cuz I thought I was gonna be better
Oh, give me a reason to grow
Stretch my arms toward the sun
Oh, please say it’s okay to go
Pick a direction and run
Maybe there’s a world where I can settle
On a quiet little street where neighbors meddle
I’ll pay off a mortgage instead of monthly rent
Say goodbye to city blocks and one bedroom apartments
And maybe I’ll be happy in a small town
Get away from all the sirens, take my dog, hunker down
A choir of cicadas drowning out the sound
of the thought that I could ever be better
Everything I am seems to hinge on who I’ve been
Always looking back instead of looking to begin
I’m too afraid to wonder, would it be a sin
If I found a way back to better
Cuz I can’t say that I’m happy, I don’t think I am
The castle built around me is crumbling like sand
Slowly as the water reaches highest tide
Never built to last, but pretty for a time
Oh, give me a reason to grow
Stretch my arms toward the sun
Oh, please say it’s okay to go
Pick a direction and run
