Side Effects
7 Minutes in Heaven Lyrics

Sometimes I wish I didn't get out of my bed
At times, I feel like staying in bed and daydreaming, not wanting to face the reality.

So I can watch the world burn in my head
Being lost in my thoughts and watch how the world would be affected in my mind.

Back and forth in between my demons
Going through constant struggles and conflicts within my mind.

I can't make a point without reason
I feel the urge to explain myself even though it may not necessarily have a reason.

She was the image of my summer
She made me feel alive and happy, just like the essence of summer.

I knew that better days would come
I had hope that the future would bring better times.

Small talk and bedroom walls
Having conversations that do not hold much importance with a sense of confinement.

In troubled times we long for fall
When life gets hard, we yearn for change and look for ways to escape from reality.

Painting color over winter's empty face
Trying to make the dull and grey aspects of my life a little more colorful.

Let's talk about the things we need
Let's have a conversation about our emotional needs and desires.

You're positive the energy that's filling me
You have given me a positive outlook on life and it reflects in my energy towards everything.

Comes in between the places that we go
Despite the places we've been, it is the thoughts and feelings we've shared that have mattered more.

Kept me from growing old
Living in the moment makes me feel youthful and lively instead of aging me.

But you can't stop the world from spinning
Everything around me keeps moving and changing, regardless of what I may want or feel.

We got lost in selfish living
We became too focused on ourselves and didn't think about the effect it had on others.

So fix me quietly
Help me quietly and gently, without drawing attention to my flaws.

Cover holes with silent dreams
Using our dreams to fill the gaps and missing pieces in our lives silently and without notice.

Maybe in the morning we'll forget
We hope that after a good night's rest, we can forget the worries and problems of the previous night.

That we were ever really here
We wish we can disappear and have our existence and experiences be forgotten.

Summer sex and cigarettes
Having experiences and indulgences that feel carefree and thrilling like summer flings and smoking.

The nights that lead to side-effects
The wild and adventurous nights that come with consequences or after-effects.

I know one day I will forget
One day, I may not have the memory of these moments and experiences.

The small things for my belonging
The little things that make us feel like we have a sense of belonging in the world.

Small talk and bedroom walls
The mundane and repetitive conversations in a closed space, reflecting how dull our lives can become.

In troubled times we long for fall
Once again, wanting change and escape from the hardships in life.

Painting color over winter's empty face
Trying to add vibrancy to the mundane, unwelcoming aspects of life.

So fix me quietly
Once again, asking for help in a subtle and unnoticeable way.

Cover holes with silent dreams
Using imagination and dreams to fill the emptiness in our lives.

Maybe in the morning we'll forget
Hoping to start fresh in the morning and not dwell on the struggles of the previous day.

That we were ever really here
Wishing to disappear and not leave behind any traces or memories.
