Break Season
You’re 3000 miles away and I’m still stuck in California
Said I’ll change the world some day, but I can’t do that while I mourn ya
They say if you love somebody, then it’s best to let them go
We’ve been hanging on for dear life but it’s wearing out the rope

And my mother says to have faith and to leave it up to God
But I think I prefer statistics, I’m just scared to weigh the odds
I took a gamble when I left, and fear I’m running out of luck
I once called you forever, but forever called my bluff

And I love LA, but it’s the sеason of the breaks
And I have onе shot to make mine count before it’s too late
I’m terrified I left the best things all behind to chase
A different life, but it’s a chance I’ll never take

If I dream each night of some version of you
That I could’ve had but I had to choose
Now I’m tire tracks and I’m on my way
You’re my other half, but that’ll have to wait


As you live between your anger and the darkness you can’t face
And I live all of my between, these jaded stanzas on a page
It isn’t fair to keep you waiting on the promise of some day
You’d rather hang in limbo but I’ve seen that tether break
And it’s the chances we don’t take that always end up in resentment
It’s the reason I blink through my tears as I started the engine
I don’t mean to bring you sadness, but we’re way better than that
I hold you to a standard but now you just hold me back

And I love LA, but it’s the season of the breaks
And I have one shot to make mine count before it’s too late
I’m terrified I left the best things all behind to chase
A different life, but it’s a chance I’ll never take

If I dream each night of some version of you
That I could’ve had but I had to choose
Now I’m tire tracks and already late
You’re my other half, but that’ll have to wait

I know you’re looking for the answers I don’t have
But we’ll bury our futures if we keep digging up the past
I’m sorry that putting me first meant putting you last
I hope one day you’ll understand that I

Love LA, but it’s the season of the breaks
And I have one shot to make mine count before it’s too late
I’m terrified I left the best things all behind to chase
A different life, but it’s a chance I’ll never take

If I dream each night of some version of you
That I could’ve had but I had to choose
Now I’m tire tracks and I’m on my way
You’re my other half, but that’ll have to wait
Have to wait
