Sarah Simpson - Layers Lyrics

So will you layer this for me?
The last time I was here, it wasn't where I wanted to be
And I've been fighting for the new
Sifting though hobbies being something I outgrew
From the before
It doesn't matter any more

Kicking dirt and wanting sand
It's a much nicer consistency
For where my toes to land
But I forced another hand
Until it was all I could stand

And I acted of character to get my way
Subconsciously noting all the things that you dismay
I can't stay
It wasn't you. I was made this way

Flitting, fighting
For another life
And, oh it bit twice
Became all the things that I despise

But also all the things I love
Burned down 100 bridges
Just To admire them in the flood.

And you spit the words I knew were true
There was nothing left for me and you
Accept the fate and move on

So the layers come in waves
Woven little rogue threads of memory
In all of the mundane

Unraveling little spools of frames
In seconds on display

And as time goes on it seems to be
There was so much more than you and me
So many layers of other lives

And I know those clips will get redefined
With a fresh perspective and borrowed time
It's all a collective of being alive
