about

Relatively self-explanatory. I moved out of my parents' house today and was feeling sentimental. The latest in a long line of songs about moving and longing.

lyrics

On my first night away
I honestly thought I'd have much more to say
Than the same old selfish refrain
I've been repeating since I learned my name.

And what do I have to do
But soldier on and prove to you
That a life can be lived in spite
Of the ghosts that rent rooms in my brain every night?

And I'll throw them out
But they make their way back the next day
With the looming doubt
I'll be fine on my first night away
