By Design Songtext
von New Native

I watch the sun rise up and scatter
All second thoughts and discontent.
But why does everything that matters feel shallow?

I promised I′d grow somewhat taller
Into something else, all by design.
But why does everything that matters feel calloused?

All I wanted to be I sorted out deliberately.
Now I keep crawling back inside my little shell
And what's behind me is all that I desire


Recall my talk when I was younger.
I had the greatest plans of all.
But why does everything that matters feel so loose?
I can′t decide what's worse and better
(be)cause I glorify all I can't have.
But why does everything that matters feel so used?

All I used to believe I sorted out so painstakingly.
Now I keep crawling back inside my little shell
And what′s behind me is all that I desire

I watch the sun collapse and shatter.
All trouble that′s been building up
But why does everything that matters feel so assured?
