Summit, Pt. 1

We all got some fuckin' mountains of our own
Shoutin' at the ground that's down below
Shoes plowing through the snow where all the flowers used to grow
In my surroundings
I'm a speck

Somehow amounting to the whole
And in these moments
I've never felt both so small and larger than life
Thinking to myself, "Just don't fall from the largest of heights"

And I've been
Lookin' at the summit
They say we're halfway there
I think we're halfway from it

It's been the longest run
Path has been a rocky one
Happy I got my foot out the door
But it was a revolving one
Imposter syndrome kickin' in
My thoughts don't wanna stand still

Thinking, "How I am a boring white man who has fuckin' stans still?"
"While my whole generation's fuckin' lonely and depressed"
"With a world that's gettin' colder and repressed?"
Like we're supposed to reach this quota for success
Without saying a fuckin' word (yeah)
If life's a test

It doesn't seem like it's graded on a fuckin' curve
So now I'm moving on
Moving along
Tied up and my shoes are on
Got more conspiracies for how I did it than fuckin' QAnon
And look at who I'm provin' wrong
Me and my boulder grew a bond

They still gon' shamefully listen pretentiously on my newest song
And I'll never please everyone
Had to come to terms with that
Feeling like I'm never done
I'm still tryna work on that

'Cause I'm still lookin' at the summit
They say we're halfway there
I think we halfway from it

Yeah
And you were there for me
When I swallowed it
Thank God that it was you that shared the key
And I will cherish all that time
Way more than you could ever see

Wasn't fair how I relied on how much you accepted me
'Cause I know
You got mountains of your own
I gotta help you climb
And I feel guilty I spent all this time tryna work through mine
Thinking about how perfect it gets

Arguing 'bout whether TikTokers deserve the success
This time, you deserve it the best
And I know
These days just aren't those days
But honestly these days still hits on most days
'Cause I love you
But I see it in a different view

When you're away
The memories play in a different hue
To convince me
I fell in love with a different you
But no matter how long distance
I know that shit just isn't true

Because we're
We're still lookin' for the summit, uh
They say we're halfway there
I think we're halfway from it

When the ambient wind was like deafening applause
Right in plain sight
You and I

When the camera tries to focus
For so long you miss the moment
It's too bright
Little light

And we'll climb towards the peak in the coldest of nights
I'll hold you tight
You and I
