about

Thanks to my wife and in-laws for giving me the bass guitar and recording hardware that allowed me to finish this song for Christmas!

lyrics

I've been looking down
I've been following the ground
As I walk and wonder to myself

Hands inside my pockets,
I wander 'round the block
Time stops as far as I can tell

They say I've lost my confidence
I don't know I about that
I want to believe in self-help

But I need someone to love me all day
I need someone to love me all day
I only wanted to be someone who everybody knows is cool
I only wanted to be somewhat close to you

Wish hiding all my feelings came easier to me
It'd be easier on everyone else
But if I say I don't wanna talk,
I can tell you know I'm only fooling myself

They say I've lost my confidence
I know it's true
And I need you
