Precious thoughts Lyrics by Chris Yang

The Martian

2021

I've been waiting for like one point six years
And it takes seven months just for me to get here
I'm scared to touch Earth, I guess I'm facing my fears
I'm finally climbing outta limbo cause the moon flies near
I've been so high that I've forgotten your face
And all I got left is this fine, ornate vase
It sits on my desk holding treasured crops
But why do I protect my vase of precious thoughts

(And if I knew what I know now)
And I feel kinda free
(And if I knew what I know now)
I think I can breathe
(And if I knew what I know now)
See all the sugar-topped trees
(And if I knew what I know now)
Cause I'm fallin' like leaves
(And if I knew what I know now)
This journey was the worst
(And if I knew what I know now)
We live so we learn
(And if I knew what I know now I wouldn't be the same
If I knew what I know now)
And I was always scared to touch down with hurt
So I listen around to the sounds of the Earth
Knew what I know now
And I feel kinda free
(And if I knew what I know now)
I think I can breathe
(And if I knew what I know now)
Through all the sugar-topped trees
(And if I knew what I know now)
Cause I'm fallin' like leaves
(And if I knew what I know now)
This journey was the worst
(And if I knew what I know now)
We live so we learn
(And if I knew what I know now I wouldn't take it back
If I knew what I know now)
And I was always scared to touch down with hurt
So I listen around to the sounds of the Earth

So I made you cut me off
So I couldn't see your face
And I needed you to hate me
So I wouldn't feel this pain
I'm finally landing now
I hope I never felt the shade
And this song is what it is
Cause I can never say your name
I'm sayin' what I can
I'll keep your name out my mouth
I was riding sky high
But it's time that I come down
I'm lookin' at the vase
To see how the plant is doin' now
You never saw the flower buddin'
Well today, it's gonna sprout
And

(And if I knew what I know now)
And I feel kinda free
(And if I knew what I know now)
I think I can breathe
(And if I knew what I know now)
See all the sugar-topped trees
(And if I knew what I know now)
Cause I'm fallin' like leaves
(And if I knew what I know now)
This journey was the worst
(And if I knew what I know now)
We live so we learn
(And if I knew what I know now I wouldn't be the same
If I knew what I know now)
Was scared to touch down with hurt
So I listen around to the sounds of the Earth
Knew what I know now
And I feel kinda free
(And if I knew what I know now)
I think I can breathe
(And if I knew what I know now)
Through all the sugar-topped trees
(And if I knew what I know now)
Cause I'm fallin' like leaves
(And if I knew what I know now)
This journey was the worst
(And if I knew what I know now)
We live so we learn
(And if I knew what I know now I wouldn't take it back
If I knew what I know now)
And I was always scared to touch down with hurt
So I listen around to the sounds of the Earth

And as I touch down after being in the clouds
I'm landing on the ground with a lack of self-doubt
I'm running right now, I could scream, I can shout
And you'll never hear this album so you'll never hear me out
My vase of precious thoughts is still living on my shelf
Such a blessing and a curse as I flew through living hell
Even though I lost you, I never really took an L
Cause to stop liking you I had to learn to like myself
And

(Knew what I know now)
And I finally feel free
(And if I knew what I know now)
I think I can breathe
(And if I knew what I know now)
I can see the sugar-topped trees
(And if I knew what I know now)
Yeah, and I'm fallin' like leaves
(And if I knew what I know now)
This journey was the worst
(And if I knew what I know now)
We live so we learn
(And if I knew what I know now I wouldn't take it back
If I knew what I know now)
I touch down with hurt
So I listen around to the sounds of the Earth
