I wasn't always this independent. I used to believe that losing someone meant losing a part of myself. It took a few broken relationships to understand the difference between needing someone, wanting them, and simply loving having them in my life. ‎ I used to blame them, and sometimes they blamed me. Looking back, those experiences shaped who I am today. ‎ This song is about realizing that when you spend your life seeing yourself through someone else's eyes, you forget how to see the world through your own. ‎ And in a strange way, it's also a thank you to the people who taught me that, even if they never meant to. ‎ Mantra: Remember that my experiences are what made me a sigma. ‎‎ [VERSE] The porch light dies when you leave Your empty coat can't warm me I search for footsteps through the rain I need you to stay ‎ [CHORUS] I could beg outside your door But my heart's not made of glass anymore I could pray that you and I become true But I can live if living is without you ‎ [VERSE] The porch light flickers when you leave Your empty coat still warms me I listen for footsteps through the rain I want you to stay ‎ [CHORUS] I could beg outside your door But my heart's not made of glass anymore I could pray that you and I become true But I can live if living is without you ‎ [VERSE] The porch light shines when I think of you Your empty coat brings warmth to me I smile at footsteps in the rain I'd love you to stay ‎ [PRE-CHORUS] I blamed the cracks on you You blamed the cracks on me The sharpest blades are forged in the hottest flames ‎ [CHORUS] I could beg outside your door But my heart's not made of glass anymore I could pray that you and I become true But I can live if living is without you I could beg outside your door But I've learned that lesson before I could pray that you and I become true But if it's real, I shouldn't have to I could beg outside your door But my heart's not made of glass anymore I could pray that you and I become true But I can live if living is without you more

MOMENTS IN BETWEEN Trip Knowledge [Intro] You been acting pretty strange... I don't know. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's me. [Chorus — Emo / Melodic] You been acting pretty strange, I don't know if it's my brain Or the moments in between Making everything feel changed. Maybe nothing even happened, Maybe I just filled the space, With a hundred explanations You never even gave. You been acting pretty strange, Or maybe you been acting the same— And I've been living in between What I know and what my mind creates. [Verse 1 — Rap] I notice little things that I probably shouldn't, A pause where there wasn't, a look that was different, A sentence gets shorter, I start doing math, Adding up moments that might never add. That's how it happens, One thought gets traction, Then every small detail becomes an attachment, Building a case with no evidence attached, Then arguing both sides like I'm covering facts. Maybe you're tired. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm reading too far into shit. Maybe that distance was always right there, And I'm only just noticing pieces of it. That's what gets me— I don't know which version is real, What actually happened or just how it feels. My brain takes a blank and starts filling it in, Then hands me the story like, "Here's what it is." [Chorus — Emo / Melodic] You been acting pretty strange, I don't know if it's my brain Or the moments in between Making everything feel changed. Maybe nothing even happened, Maybe I just filled the space, With a hundred explanations You never even gave. You been acting pretty strange, Or maybe you been acting the same— And I've been living in between What I know and what my mind creates. [Verse 2 — Rap] I could ask you, But then what do I say? "You breathed kinda different around me today?" Sounds crazy out loud, so I leave it alone, Then somehow alone makes the whole thing grow. Now I'm replaying a Tuesday on Friday, Trying to remember your face in the driveway, Was that hesitation? Were you distracted? Did I miss something? Or manufacture what happened? See— I don't need proof for a thought to feel true, That's the dangerous part when I'm thinking of you. I can turn one second into twenty-two clues, Then forget there's a chance I got nothing to prove. So I'm learning the difference Between instinct and fear, Between something that's changing And something unclear. Maybe I'll ask. Maybe that's what I need. Instead of building a world In the moments between. [Final Chorus — Emo / Melodic] You been acting pretty strange, I don't know if it's my brain Or the moments in between Making everything feel changed. Maybe nothing even happened, Maybe I just filled the space, With a hundred explanations You never even gave. If there's something, you can say it. If there's nothing, let it be. I can't keep making answers From the moments in between. [Outro] Maybe it's you. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's just... the moments in between.more
