i became lost
i sought myself out
at the bottom of a bottle
at the end of a street
and in people
i thought it'd be easy
to come back
i never learned
from the leftover shards
from echos of the summer
i never learned
i sought myself out
drowning in music
and swinging my feet
in places i'd never been
i sought myself out
counting my fingers
and tracing the fences
i sought myself out
but i wasn't there anymore
you lose yourself
so easily
and forget parts of you
that were never really yours
and now
you're trying to be whole
you're learning how to walk
and you're grinning at bars
singing along to your favorite songs
finding your pieces
finding yourself
in all the right people
in all the right places
i sought myself out
thinking i could be found
in the last sip of a drink
or the wisps of smoke
crowding my lungs
i had to learn
all over again
you'll find things
exactly where you left them
exactly where they belong.
