Another Song About the Weekend
A Day to Remember Lyrics

They keep playing sad songs on the radio
The music on the radio is constantly depressing, making me feel isolated and alone during my long drive.

And I feel like I'm so alone
The sadness of the music coupled with the monotony of the drive makes me feel isolated, like I have nobody to turn to or talk to.

On this fifteen hour drive
I'm currently driving for fifteen hours straight with no companionship, which only intensifies my sense of loneliness.

And all the while I tell myself to just believe
Throughout the drive, I try to maintain a positive attitude and remind myself to be optimistic and hopeful about the future.

'Cause nobody can give so much and never get anything
The relentlessness of the drive and the challenges I face on a regular basis make me feel like I've given everything but haven't received anything in return.

Everyone I used to know
I'm currently disconnected from the people in my past who knew me the best.

Says they don't know what I've become
Those who knew me before are unsure of my current identity and character.

But I'm still the same, not much has changed
Despite what others may think, my core self hasn't changed all that much since I left my past behind.

I still know where I came from
I haven't completely forgotten my roots and where I came from, even if I seem different on the surface.

I fell asleep with the lights on
I'm so exhausted and drained from everything that's happened during my journey that I fell asleep without turning off the lights.

And I can see that you're the first one in a long time
However, for the first time in a while, I can sense that someone has genuine faith in me and what I can accomplish.

That had some faith in me
They truly believe in me and my abilities instead of being doubtful or dismissive.

Tell my friends we won't be long
I know my friends and family miss me and want me to return home, but I reassure them that my journey won't last much longer.

The Florida sun begs me to come back home
The sunny weather of Florida, where I come from, reminds me of home and gives me a sense of longing to return.

And it feels like I'm ready for anything
Despite all the difficulties I've faced on my journey, I feel like I'm prepared to handle whatever comes my way.

If you can wait for me
As long as others can be patient with me and wait for my return, I know I'll be okay and come back stronger than ever.

And all the while I say too much of what I think
I tend to overthink and overanalyze my situation, which often leads to me expressing my thoughts and feelings too openly or without enough consideration.

And I can't remember what it's like to find meaning in anything
The hardships of my journey have made it difficult for me to experience joy or fulfillment, making it hard to recognize what has real meaning in my life.

For the life of me
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to reclaim that sense of purpose and fulfillment that I once had.

And all I ever wanted was so far from what I need
The things I've been chasing after and wanted for so long aren't what I truly need to find happiness or satisfaction in life.

I'll write my songs, they'll sing along
Despite my struggles and challenges, I still find solace in music and songwriting, and the knowledge that others will relate and connect to what I create.

And hope time heals everything
Ultimately, I know that time will continue to move forward and that the wounds caused by my struggles will gradually heal and fade.

This is all I have
Everything I've been through and everything I am is all I have at the moment, for better or for worse.

It's my life
The things I've experienced and the choices I've made are all part of the unique and individual life that only I can lead.
