Lyrics
Along with my thoughts, oh, how I would like to be Alone with my thoughts, With no device staring back at me what weird shit will I come up with, all these screens are so disruptive oh how i would like to be Alone with my thoughts
When was the last time I had any peace and quiet it sounds so simple maybe I should try it. There's nothing to be scared of, I used to do it all the time. I can learn again to daydream before it becomes a crime
What's the worst that could happen maybe an original thought Stare off into the sky and hope I don't get caught
Along with my thoughts oh, how I would like to be Alone with my thoughts With no device staring back at me I need to know what I might conceive, without the ache of technology oh how i would like to be Alone with my thoughts
Turn off the headphones Look away from the screen Listen to myself, Do you know what that would mean? I'm not expecting any big revelations I'm just hoping for some self-preservation
What's the worst that could happen maybe an original thought Stare off into the sky and hope I don't get caught
Along with my thoughts oh, how I would like to be Alone with my thoughts With no device staring back at me I wanna see where my mind wanders what wild things I start to ponder oh how i would like to be Alone with my thoughts
I can remember doing this all the time now I struggle, it's just another hill to climb it's easier to swipe and scroll
fall into a depression hole than put it all away and give my brain some space to play
Along with my thoughts oh, how I would like to be Alone with my thoughts With no device staring back at me I wanna see where my mind wanders what wild things I start to ponder oh how i would like to be Alone with my thoughts
I definitely identify with this feeling! I cringe when my phone summarizes how many hours a day I have been looking at it. I want to do better too!!
