It's You
J. Lauren Lyrics

I dreamed I found an easy out
I imagined an effortless escape

For the second time this week
This is the second time recently

You wished me luck and watched me go
You said goodbye and wished me well

After that we didn’t speak
We didn't communicate further

What happened next I can’t recall
I can't remember what occurred after that

It’s probably best that way
It's maybe better to not remember

There’s no place I’d rather be
I am content where I am

Slowly wasting away
I'm gradually deteriorating

Lying awake most nights and wondering
I spend lots of nights sleeplessly contemplating

What’s out there that's meant for me?
What's my destiny?

Or rest more comfortably
Have a more peaceful rest

It’s a good life if you allow it to be
Life is fulfilling if you let it

For all the unremarkable days
On ordinary days

There’s love and light and predictability
There's still love, hope and stability

And no one’s gonna hear complaints
I choose not to complain

About tired, casual stability
Despite the dull stability

And I think all the time ‘bout
I constantly ponder

All the things that I’m ‘bout, no doubt
My passions and my goals

And the things that might have been
And what could have happened

But there are better ways to spend my days than
However, there are more productive use of my time

Digging holes just to fill them in
Than doing laborious and meaningless tasks

Spend so much precious time just wondering
I waste too much valuable time speculating

What’s still to become of me?
What is my future?

Or sleep more soundly
Sleep more peacefully

It’s a good life if you allow it to be
Again, life is wonderful if you permit it
