Cottonwood Pollen ft. Callyn Lyrics

The cottonwood pollen spins a summer snow globe

While the shadows chase the light in every direction

Maybe it's just what I need

To remember there's still life inside of me

The cottonwood pollen doesn't know

That I got lost

At the second stoplight out of town

And I had to turn around

Because nothing ever mattered

And the rain just pitter-pattered

On my windshield

Adding insult to injury

You know I try to keep existing

Because I might like what I'd be missing

Like the cottonwood pollen that dances like no one's watching

Maybe I should take a lesson in just feeling the breeze

It's been such a long time

Since I've loved a moment enough to call it mine

The cottonwood pollen doesn't need to know

That I got lost

At the second stoplight out of town

And I had to turn around

Because nothing ever mattered

And the bugs were dead and splattered

On my windshield

Adding insult to injury

You know I try to keep existing

Because I might like what I'd be missing

I spend too much time with all the problems

That live in my mind and in my life

And I can't change the way I feel sometimes

I might be pained and lost and hopeless

But if I can still find some pieces

Of myself that seem to fit into this

Strange world we live in

Maybe it would get better and

I would have a reason not to

Only exist, but to live

Life to the fullest

Maybe it would be worth it

For the cottonwood pollen that doesn't know my name

It's so beautiful, maybe I could learn to be the same
