Lovesick
Caroline Pennell Lyrics

I... I'm trying to keep my feet up off the pavement
I'm doing my best to stay positive and avoid feeling weighed down by the challenges in my life

Everything I thought I knew keeps changing
I feel like my understanding of the world and my place in it is constantly shifting, making it hard to navigate life with certainty

So close that I can taste it
I feel like I'm on the brink of achieving something significant, and it feels within reach

I... I'm seeing closer friendships I've been craving
I'm finally building closer connections with people that I've yearned for, which feels very fulfilling

Standing in a line that I've created
I'm taking control of my life and carving out a path that feels true to who I am

So close I should take it
I feel like opportunities are presenting themselves to me, and I should seize them while I can

We looked away then looked right back
Sometimes we get distracted and lose sight of our goals, but it's important to refocus and keep moving forward

Oh the future got here so fast, so fast
Time seems to be passing quickly, and it's overwhelming to think about how our lives will unfold

It's a lovesick feeling when you just want it all
Wanting everything we can't have can feel all-consuming and sometimes painful

It's a knowing that the hardest part is letting go
Recognizing that we can't always have everything we want, and learning to let go of what we can't control, can be a difficult but important lesson

We can go on forever Follow our own lives We can go on forever Meet by the wayside We can go on forever But at the end of the day we'll say no
We have infinite possibilities in life, but ultimately we have to learn to say no to some things in order to pursue the ones that truly matter to us

I... I'm trying to make the best of every moment
I'm doing my best to stay present and cherish each moment, even when things are difficult

Reaching out for something I can't hold yet
Sometimes we have to take risks and pursue dreams that aren't guaranteed to work out, but that can be a scary and vulnerable process

So close, arms are open
I'm feeling receptive and open to the possibilities in my life, even if they come with risk or uncertainty

We turned away then turned right back
We all experience moments of doubt or confusion, but it's important to keep pushing forward and not give up too easily

Oh the future caught up so fast, so fast
Time seems to be rushing by, and we can feel overwhelmed by the pace of our lives or daunted by what's ahead

We can go on forever Follow our own lives We can go on forever Meet by the wayside We can go on forever But at the end of the day We'll say no
We have endless choices and opportunities in life, but we have to learn when to say no in order to pursue the things that truly matter to us
