SnowBanks (Live at Richland Center High School / Feb. 2020) ft. tabita rotondi Lyrics

Guess who's back

Uhh

So for our second song tonight

I'm going to be aided by the talented Tabi

On a song called "SnowBanks"

And basically, the premise of this song is childhood nostalgia

Because who doesn't miss their childhood?

So

Hope you guys enjoy this

Past month 11, stranger things (Oooo)

After fall, before the spring (Oooo)

Young and fun, do anything (Oooh)

Now I'm grown up, how can it be? (Oooh)

(Oooh)

Who would've thought after all the times I'd explore (Oooh)

I'd be stuck up in the floor

Seeming to need more (Oooh)

Playing a keyboard

With feelings that he poured cause

This makes me scream Lord (Oooo)

"Is this an evil scheme or…?"

Is it my own admission? (Oooo)

Now I don't wanna seem sappy (Oooo)

It's just that it's easy to smile (Yeah)

But it's harder to be happy

Wish I could take a time machine back, so an adult I could finally know

How I used to find bliss, without music like this (Oooh)

Just let my cares go, laying in the snow

Now I'm laying in the snow

Just thinking about my life

Tryna let my cares go

But my thoughts are too loud

(Man it sucks)

All I can think of

Are the hurt and my pain

Things I lost along the way

Left behind in my past

Now I'm here by myself

Feeling kinda down

Don't know how to cope

Overthinking everything

(Man it sucks)

All that I ask

Is some peace for my soul

While I'm laying here alone

Drowning thoughts in the snow

Now I remember when I would go out at recess and see all the snow plowed to the grass line

My friends and I would go out on so many adventures (Oooh)

Power Rangers, Dragons 'til class time

Now I guess I'm already in all of this debt? (Oooh)

As a senior, I'm not even in college for another few months

Can't go back, it was what it was

Thought I was strong like a mighty oak, now I'm too stumped (Oooo)

Got to give the government credit though (Oooo)

Don't start

Cause I'm being literal (Yeah)

Gonna die broke like Mozart (Oooh)

That's classical, quite interesting (Oooh)

Did you get the joke, too time investing? (Oooh)

You know what? Just doesn't matter anymore

Time to grow older and see what is in store

Now I'm laying in the snow

Just thinking 'bout my life

Tryna let my cares go

Feeling broken inside

(Man it sucks)

Is it too much to ask

For some peace for my soul

While I'm laying here alone

Getting lost in the snow?

(Ooo, ooo, ooo)

Take me back, take me back, take me back

How can I feel guilty saying that?

How can I feel guilty saying that?!

(Oooh)

C'mon man, that's what you wanted the most!

Maybe it's time to move on

I've been nostalgic for too long

Time to work on a new song (Oooo)

I've been nostalgic for too long!

Now I'm moving out, house is bare

Cleaning out my closet, where's my snare? (Oooh)

There

I remember so much

But now I don't seem to care

Back then the lights were on

Mom says it's time for me to rest (Oooh)

Instead, I'm up all night

Listening to "Bennie and the Jets"

Look for something, but nothing!

Who needs a rhyme anymore?

But then there's a glisten of hope

A snowflake fell, couldn't grasp what I was seeing

I had my head in the clouds too long, I gasp at the sight

It was so relieving

I never had faith for the aether

Or something to truly believe in (Oooh)

But now I know that snow angels can really defeat the cold-hearted demons

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oohhh, oohhh

Oh, oohhh, oh, oohhh
