Nothing Ever Happens by Desktop Alarm Clock from Denver United States

the first single off my debut al "summer plans," to be released later this year! the al's about leaving a place i grew to love and trying to move on while fighting the urge to keep looking back. i'm really excited to finally get these songs out into the world!

lyrics:

longing for something but
we don’t have time for these games
we haven’t picked the pictures for
this box full of empty frames

what’s gonna happen when we leave?
watching shapes recede again
this was my favorite place
that i didn’t fit in

late night at the library and
we were the last ones
got my hopes up but
nothing ever happens

you asked me if
there’s anything scarier
than tomorrow
ask me again
when we’re older

well, it’s been years since then
and i don’t think so
i used to face uncertainty with fear
but now every day
fuzzy outlines get clearer
and i long for the time
tomorrow could bring surprises
the future could be anything

who am i kidding?
i’m so used to inaction
got my hopes up but
nothing ever happens

the future could be exciting
tomorrow sounds so inviting
but you can’t keep waiting forever
it’s time to be just a little bit braver
