Reaching Lyrics by Jonny West

MOTEL CALIFORNIA

2022

[Verse One]
Shoulda stuck to my roots
But I'm the one who fell so far from the tree
And rolled to your door looking for more than just a bite on the cheek
I'm shaking new hands now, even when I see it's planned out
Like when you're told a joke you already know but you laugh anyways

Why'd you have to love me?
I'd be so much farther with nothing strapped to my back always bringing me down
I hope you sink and drown so I could rescue you out
Then maybe (You)
Wouldn't wake me from the dream that you reached out to me
Yeah you're the one who

What's the point of growing just so my branches could break?
Climbing on all my mistakes
I give and I give and you take so long to reply
But that don't phase me, cause you can't even face me anymore
So now I just daydream of days free from your touch

Because if you never loved me
I'd be so much farther with nothing strapped to my back always bringing me down
I hope that you think about how you ruined it now
There's no maybe
Couldn't you take me from this dream where you reached out to me
Yeah you're the one who reached out to me
