These lyrics were written because I was tired of going for a dream with lots of obstacles, I’m not the kind of person to give up, I’m actually the opposite. When things get harder, I usually work even harder but this time I actually felt so helpless. I felt that everything that I have done up until then would have gone to waste, it made me so anxious that I literally wanted to run away. I wanted to be strong so running away wasn’t an option. These lyrics were here to lift me up, to help me get through this other stage. I hope it would do the same for other people.

I have been going through a phase where I don’t really know what to do with my life. I seem to be very undecisive and it kind of makes me worry although I shouldn’t. It happens to everyone to get lost at some point of their lives. It’s only a temporary thing. These lyrics are for all these lost souls and concerned like me. The tone of the song can be anything at all, when I was writing I wasn’t really sad just hopeful.

My friend and I were thinking of how we were so unlucky in love. We were thinking why the guys we wanted always ran away from us (do not worry we are not some kind of crazy psychopaths). I guess it was because we would misread the situation a lot; we would go by what we thought they were rather than what we had in front of us. So the lyrics came together to make humor of the situation therefore the lyrics are set in a funny tone. They are not meant to make a sad song.

A song about loving someone even though how hard it is for them to love.

A song about loving someone that you don't want to get out of your life because of how perfect he/she is for you.
