Session I 2016 Grand Prize Winner in the R&B Category of The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, "Still" encapsulates all the thoughts I wish I never had.
lyrics
Hold me in your arms, in your thoughts, in the present, love
Soak up all these tears, all the fears from a blinding fog
Fading trains of thoughts...of loss, problems never solved
Swinging back and forth in my mind, thoughts I never want-ed
Am I standing still? (How am I)
Standing still?
Push me back into motion
Pull me back into motion, please
Tell me I’m alright, that it’s fine, that I’m good enough
Just give me a sign, the divine, or the criminal
Love me just enough, with disgust of my major flaws
Swinging back and forth in my mind, thoughts I never wanted
Am I standing still? (How am I)
Standing still?
Push me back into motion
Pull me back into motion, please
How am I-I-I?
Am I standing still?
Just put me ba-a-ack
Pull me ba-a-ack
Put me ba-a-ack
Into motion
Hold me in your arms, in your thoughts, in the present, love
Soak up all these tears, all the fears from a blinding fog
Fading trains of thoughts...of loss, problems never solved
Swinging back and forth in my mind, thoughts I never want-ed
