Track 8 from Zoë Ravenwood's debut album 'The Problem Might Be Me'

lyrics

We only get so many days
Before all that’s left of us is echoes
We only get so many days
And now there’s one less than before
Don’t want to spend my final moments
Wishing I’d done something more

And is this all that I’ve become?
The sum of scars, and wrongs,
And things I’ve left undone
The regrets hang on one by one
Bending me until I’m broken

Time and time again,
I start running but I’m just chasing the wind
Time and time again,
I keep slipping, and I start over again

We only get so many mistakes
Before all that’s left for us is consequence
We only get so many mistakes
And I think I’ve made this one before
I’m looking back at my life
And I’m hoping I still get one more

And is this truly all that I’ve become?
The sum empty sex, and highs I’ve chased,
And foolish things I’ve done,
Trying escapes on one by one
Numbing me until I’ve lost myself

Time and time again,
I start running but I’m just chasing the wind
Time and time again,
I keep slipping and I start over again

Sometimes it feels like I’m waking up
From somebody else’s dream
My thoughts are full of impressions of
Highs and lows I must have seen
You never know how far you’ve fallen
'Til the bottom rushes up to meet you
And ghosts of choices never made
Come rushing out to greet you
A life of throwing stones
And casting blame at all I see
But if no one else deserves the blame
The problem might be me

Time and time again,
I start running but I’m just chasing the wind
Time and time again,
I keep slipping, and I start over again

Time and time again,
I start running but I’m just facing the wind
Time and time again,
I keep slipping,
And I start over again

about

Zoë Ravenwood Washington, D.C.

Zoë Ravenwood became a being of pure sound after getting bit by a radioactive David Bowie LP in her youth.

Her distinctive alt-folk style driven by intricate guitar work and soulful, vulnerable vocals and lyrics has been described as “if Joni Mitchell grew up listening to math rock and metal, and had a punk rock mentality.”


She is presently working on her second album to be released in 2020.
