hiii!! hope you enjoy this song i wrote and recorded 2 years back (from the comfort of my attic hahaha). i hope that if you're an over thinker like me, with a loud, crowded, city-like mind, you relate to this song and realise that, sometimes, being yourself means taking a break from yourself. sending lots of love (from the comfort of my room as i'm currently self-isolating haha sadness).

lyrics:
i’m taking a break
i’ll be gone for the weekend
i’ll be back in the city
but i hope you understand
i’m taking no luggage
just a passport in hand
i know i gave you no warning
but it’s not something I planned
i sorted my papers, made sure they’re blank
my destination is going off track
i’m rewriting the story and I’m only leaving,
leaving to come back
come back (come back)
come back (come back)
come back (come back)
i’m only leaving
to come back
the cab is now waiting
but the driver’s not there
i got to let go so
i guess the wheel is in my hands
i’m not turning around anymore
when i go downstairs
i’m saying goodbye but
as a sign of beginning again
i sorted my papers, made sure they’re blank
my destination is going off track
i’m rewriting the story and I’m only leaving,
leaving to come back
come back (come back)
come back (come back)
come back (come back)
i’m only leaving
to come back
once the sky is less clouded
the city less crowded
and it’s a little more quiet
once the air’s less polluted
the cars have commuted
the voices are muted
once the sky is less clouded
the city less crowded
and it’s a little more quiet
once the air’s less polluted
the cars have commuted
the voices are muted
*silence*
come back (come back)
come back (come back)
come back (come back)
i’m only leaving
to come back
i’m taking a break
i’ll be gone for the weekend
i’ll be back in the city
i’m only leaving to come back
come back
