about

University life is a big change for everyone, but I feel like it's been a particularly big and positive change for me. I've joined societies, made myself part of a community and met dozens of amazing people, some of whom I even managed to befriend. This song is for everyone who's made my past year as great as it's been.

Tuning: DADGAd

lyrics

It's so crowded
In the space that I cannot see
I see no reason to leave it now
But maybe that's just me

And I feel you all
Pulling on my strings
You show me things
It's a novelty

What would I do without the
People that shape me?
They've slowly snuck into my
Bones

Open your lungs
To breath in the smoke
In through your mouth
And out through your nose

Like a book
Teaching me how to read
I'm a soldier out of war
A sailor lost at sea

Imagine the surprise
Painted on my face
A change of pace as I embrace
The person I've come to be

What would I do without
The people that make me?
They've slowly crept under my
Skin

Open your eyes,
The windows to your soul
To let all the sunlight
In

And I was so confused
About the writing on my eyelids
It made me think about how drink
To live life and just let loose

What happens next is a mystery to me
No hints, no tips, no clues
I'll take each day as it comes
And know that I've got nothing to lose

These semi-crowded streets
Follow me home
On the bus that they're underneath
They zig-zag through my mind

Open my eyes to find all the people
I've met these past few weeks
They're smiling at me
So I look at them and smile in kind
