Meridian — I Will Learn lyrics

Lyrics

It was just as the summer was fading to fall
And the heat tore the posters right off my walls
I can combat the distance, the lines and the time but not this
At my worst I am limited, feeble and broke
Confined to my narrow and negative scope
I wrote it all down but I think that you already know
But I won’t see you for another few days
So I’ve got time to figure out what I should say
Stay quiet tonight
I fumble for words to convince you to stay
In attempts to get voice on the same page as brain
But the merging of two institutions is oh-so-complex
'Cause I do this thing where I open my mouth
But I have no control of the sounds that come out
So set up the microphone, I’d like to take that one again
But I won’t see you for another few days
So I’ve got time to figure out what I should say
Stay quiet tonight
And I won’t, let my mind, build a wall to, hide behind
But I will, learn to trust, and to forgive
And I won’t, let my mind, build a wall to, hide behind
But I will, learn to trust, and to forgive
I squeezed every drop out of summer I could
I took every measure to stifle the flood
And as pressure releases, conclusions are left in the wake
So let’s split a bottle, of something real strong
And spend this semester just floating along
I promise to love you, if you promise me honesty
