about

"Healing is so bittersweet"

This song is about watching the show "Friends" at the hospital. It's also about FOMO while healing and recovering.

If you stick around, there's a surprise...

lyrics

Healing is so bittersweet
Salt soaking hair, I’m praying for relief
Will it come in the morning?
Do bones know about time?
When is it over?
I’m all out of lines
To feed my head
Where is the world, outside my bed?

How many times can I count the sunsets
Before I lose my light
How much of "Friends" can I watch again
Before I cry tonight
And everyone says that I’m so optimistic
But the truth is

I'm just trying to be okay
Okay
Okay
Okay

I stopped asking the mornings
If today was the day
So I just try to get through
By sleeping the pain
Away
Away
Away

How many times can I count the sunsets
Before I lose my light
How much of "Friends" can I watch again
Before I cry tonight
And everyone says that I’m so optimistic
But the truth is

Another day, another try
I’ll count it a victory if I don’t cry by nine A.M
I am doing my best
To rest, to heal
Doing what I can
And sometimes I feel
Like I can, I will be

Okay
Okay
Okay

...

Wait, before you go...

I’m in such a Liminal Space of my life
And I know, and I know, and I know
Things will get better now
There is a light at the end of this tunnel
Just trying to put one foot in front of the other
One step ha-just like imagined

What are the words again?

One step, just like imagined
Feels different, oh but I'll manage
C'mon, c'mon, we'll make it out

I’m in such a liminal space of my life
The darkest part's just behind us
Keep moving, one step's enough
C'mon, c'mon, we'll make it now
