My Thoughts On You

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 2

"My Thoughts On You"
by The Band CAMINO



Full Lyrics ▼

Give me a second light, I haven't smiled since yesterday
If I need to I can pay, but let me hold this 'til I feel okay
Since you burned me at the stake, all of my feelings went away
There's no feelings in my way
At least there's no feelings in my way

I was there when you were blind to everything that I could see
I'll pretend that it's just me, but maybe really it's just me
I forgot what it was like, to think I found you finally
What if you were the one for me
I hope you weren't the one for me

And I know this
I can't read it right, between the fights
I still need you
And I know this
I fell for your eyes, I just realized
I still need you
I still need you

Give me 'til twenty-three, I need another year for this
Trying to teach my common sense to not waver with my confidence
Traded my soul to free my mind, carmex to help me pass the time
Can I go back to being blind
Asked myself why one too many times

And I know this
I can't read it right, between the fights
I still need you
And I know this
I fell for your eyes, I just realized
I still need you
I still need you

I tried to say thank you, but I don't know if you heard me
I know it wasn't your plan, to just be the one to hurt me
My thoughts versus my feelings, my thoughts on you hit the ceiling
But my feelings aren't a real thing
If I feel things I don't really deserve

And I know this
I can't read it right, between the fights
I still need you
And I know this
I fell for your eyes, I just realized
I still need you

And I know this
I can't read it right, between the fights
I still need you
And I know this
I fell for your eyes, I just realized
I still need you
I still need you
I still need you
I still need you
I still need you

This was a hard song to pick because The Band CAMINO is probably my favorite newly-discovered band this year. As I mentioned in my prior blog post "Changes for 2021" , I'm trying to spend less time consuming content so that I can create more of it, and a big part of that has been listening to a lot more music and finding new artists. The Band CAMINO has such an incredibly diverse sound, and I'm really impressed with their lyrics. I'm strongly considering doing one of their albums for "Musicology Anthology"  later this year as well.

While I almost went with "The Black and White" or their amazing collaboration "Crying Over You" with Chelsea Cutler, this is the song I probably play on repeat the most often. It's another of the songs I've been listening to when I want to remember my mom (spoiler alert: that's probably going to be a popular theme in my "The Soundtrack of Your Life"  this year).
