Go With It
Oliver Lyrics

It's half an hour past midnight your eyes are open wide
It is late at night and you are wide awake, unable to sleep.

The traffic plays a tune you can't recall
The sound of passing cars creates a background noise that you can't quite remember.

Something you were thinking about seemed to be so important
There was something on your mind that felt incredibly significant.

But now it doesn't mean a thing at all
However, now it holds no meaning or importance to you.

All the things you held onto so tightly in your hand
The things you once cherished and clung onto tightly,

Seemed to slip between your fingers as you try
Are now slipping away from your grasp as you attempt

To understand just what it is you're looking for and maybe even why
To comprehend what you are searching for and perhaps why you are searching in the first place.

You go it alone but you're not made of stone
You face these challenges on your own, but you are not emotionless.

Sleep on the couch in the glow of the tube
You find solace in sleeping on the couch while the television illuminates the room.

No one to hold you tonight
There is no one to provide comfort or embrace you tonight.

You go it alone
You continue your journey independently.

But you're not made of stone
Yet, you are not devoid of emotions or vulnerability.

Keep on believing somehow you'll find your way home
Maintain your faith that you will eventually discover your path back to a place of belonging.

Your folks are down in Florida, the kids are moving west
Your parents are in Florida, while your children are relocating to the west.

No one ever seems to stick around
It appears that people never remain in your life for long.

The guy who said he loved you is 1,000 miles away
The man who claimed to love you is now far away, separated by a distance of 1,000 miles.

You're just trying to get your feet back on the ground
You are currently focused on regaining stability and finding your footing.

You go to work each day and work your fingers to the bone
Every day, you go to work and exhaust yourself physically.

'Till the evening when there's nothing much to do
Until the evening arrives and there is little to occupy your time.

That's when you turn the TV on to see if someone's there
During such moments, you resort to watching television, hoping to find a sense of companionship.

Who feels the same as you
Someone who can empathize with your emotions.

The doctors have another name for everything you feel
Medical professionals assign different labels to describe each of your emotions.

They sit across the room and stare you down
They sit on the opposite side of the room, observing you intently.

They give you pills to make you sleep and pills to wake you up
They prescribe medication to help you fall asleep as well as stay awake.

Passing judgment without knowing what they've found
Forming opinions about you without truly understanding your situation.

And when it gets too much and you can't take it anymore
When the burden becomes overwhelming and you reach your breaking point,

You try to break that mortal coil and fly away
You contemplate escaping the struggles of life and ascending beyond mortal limitations.

But you wake up in emergency
However, you abruptly awaken in an emergency situation.

And find it's just another endless day
Only to discover that it is yet another day that seems never-ending.

You're afraid to stop
Fear prevents you from halting your actions.

To turn around
To change direction or reconsider your choices.

To look that beast in the eye
To confront and face the intimidating challenges ahead.

So you run away
Instead, you choose to escape and avoid the situation.

Burn another bridge
You destroy another relationship or connection.

Till there's nothing but ashes inside
Eventually, all that remains is emptiness and destruction within you.

You go it alone
Once again, you continue your journey independently.

But you're not made of stone
Nevertheless, you are not devoid of emotions or resilience.

You sleep on the couch in the glow of the tube
You find comfort in sleeping on the couch, basking in the glow of the television screen.

Keep on believing in somebody new
Maintain hope and belief in the possibility of finding a new person to rely on.

Tell yourself stories that never come true
You create narratives for yourself that ultimately do not materialize.

No one to hold you tonight
There is no one available to embrace or comfort you this evening.

You go alone
Once again, you proceed on your own.

Keep on believing somehow, you'll find your way home
Maintain the faith that you will eventually discover your path back to a place of belonging.
