This was the last song that I wrote for the ep. It's about stepping out into what's uncomfortable and going after your dreams. Even if you end up failing miserably, at least you can say you tried and have the assurance that you put in your full effort..
lyrics
It’s pouring rain outside
I’m stuck here on the inside
Dreams die and they unwind
I just want to cry
Oo, and it’s cold
Oo, and this is gettin so old
CHORUS:
Will I ever do all the things I said I wanted to?
Will I ever go past the path and where it leads me?
Will I ever find the strength to let go of my control?
Will I trust you,
And dive in?
Cuz this ship wants to leave the harbor
I know it takes one foot in front of the other
But I’ve been frozen for so long
Dreams don’t really die they just get buried
I’m hoping that they all resurface
CHORUS
Oo, Will I ever leave the harbor?
Cuz this ship wants to go farther...
I’m diving into the water so deep
And if I don’t resurface
At least I know I tried to live my life
Out of the harbor
Cuz this ship wants to go farther
