April

Hasn't really been that long
but still the days fly
til you're alone
It's always counting down
until we stop listening
I can drown it out I won't apologise
The pulse is on my sleeve now
and I recognise
Keep it to myself cos
I'm preserving my life

I didn't even want you to know
Til April
Shedding my fears when
I needed them most
It's April
Never forget what
I'm still holding close
In April
Still hanging on to
the moments I chose
April

Every single day I fear
The moment won't last
I won't be back
Stitching up my memories
and I'm in between
I won't be so petty cos
I know you're right
Can't stick another blueprint
right upon this life
I'm loosening my grip cos
I believe it's alright

I didn't even want you to know
Til April
Shedding my fears
when I needed them most
It's April
Never forget what
I'm still holding close
In April
Still hanging on to
the moments I chose
April

When it's changing every time
But I'm always just as hopeful
Now I'm grateful and I'm ready to repeat

The deepest highs are twisting me inside
Growing out I'm always left behind
Swimming down below to reach the sky
Filling up my lungs beneath the tide

It's alright

I'm hesitant to believe in me
Swept out in a current
I'm reticent as I'll float to sea
It happens so sudden

But it's alright

To be born and die we're unified in life
Keep growing down the earth
The warm embrace when everything's alright
