pass on- song

ive got too comfortable here, Ive got too used to this life I know,

University sounds like everything ive always dreamed of with so much to do, so many friends, travling and stepping forward and creating myself the future I want to have.

Ive always said I dont feel like i belong here, this town is so uncaring, nobody has ambition and the place is so opressive and restricted. Ive always wanted to get out of here and live somewhere happy and with kinder people.

-only im too scared I wont be happy there and ill be lonley because I wont fit in and make friends. I worry my life wont be as good as the one I have now.

And how can I leave behind the most important people in my life? Like my best friend and soulmate Konor who ive known for years, or Darren, the one person who knows me best and im so close to. I wouldnt be half the person I am now if it wasnt for these 2 people. Let alone my fmaily and everyone else I know.

I feel like theres an expirary date on the time I have left and I feel so pressured to grow up and move on. I dont feel old enough for this, It used to seem years away but now its only one.

I guess im afraid of stepping forward into something so unknown to me

so here it is. pass on. The song...

Like a fire, I watch time burning out

And I don’t feel ready to snub the ashes out

As we camp under stars with old embers in the sky

Watching moments pass the world by

In a forest of evergreen

A forest of evergreen.

We close our eyes and try not to fall asleep.

I don’t feel ready to move on

But I’m snatching at seconds that have already gone

And childhoods’ away and done

Why cant I grow up and do what I always wanted?

We know one day were gonna’ have to get up and grow

But there’s a world of fear in what we don’t know

And the hardest part is the goodbye and letting go.
How can I say goodbye to you?

I push against time that’s running out

Trying to savour the last of this life ill be without

Im holding onto a world moving about

How can we leave it all for something new?

Like a fire, I watch time burning out

And I don’t feel ready to snub the ashes out

As we camp under stars with old embers in the sky

Watching moments pass the world by

In a forest of evergreen

A forest of evergreen.

We close our eyes and try not to fall asleep.

I don’t feel ready to move on

But I’m snatching at seconds that have already gone

And childhoods’ away and done.
Why cant I grow up and do what ive always wanted?

I wish I had more time to spend

As I set off alone to a place without friends.

And ill be missing you and trying to pretend

That you’re here when I read the letters you send.

How can I leave what we have behind?

Life blows away like the chalk drawings

we used to create on pavements ill never see again.

And i’m not ready to leave and go.

Last Year seemed so long ago.
