NIKON Lyrics by Kevin Hackett

INDIGO

2024

[Refrain: Kevin Hackett]
Took way too many photos

[Verse 1: Kevin Hackett]
I look my best friend in the eye
But I don't recognize him
I've been paralyzed since I left you behind
The wall's too tall to climb
The cost was far too high
I called a hundred times just for a call declined
We were nineteen in a house covered in ivy
Defined me
'Til the day I finally find me
Our lives seemed way easier then
Way before we learned what easier meant
I know that friends leave
I know that empty feeling full of envy
I pulled my dead feet out of a three pole tent in a deadbeat house 'til it left me out
Always takin' photos of Can and Aidan
Maybe if the band stayed, then we would've made it
Maybe if we had faith and a little patience
Way too many late nights I procrastinated
Still haven't graduated yet, but I'm on my way
Ain't nothin' been the same since I left that place
Make my own path, sacrifice these grades
Prayin' that our roads pass as we chase these trains, yeah

[Chorus: Josiah Davis]
You're in a place I can't find
In my mind, can we get back?
Are we still intact?
And I know it's all behind
But I’ll try to relive that
I promise I'll fix that

[Refrain: Kevin Hackett]
I took way too many photos
I took way too many photos
I took way too many photos
(I took way too many photos)

[Verse 2: Kevin Hackett]
Four years later, I know nothing feels the same
New house, new job, uncle went estranged
6 AM, wake up, do it all again
Tryna be okay with the man that I became
But I miss it
Other than the mouse in the kitchen
Other than the times that I wouldn't even listen
Other than the lies that I told when we dipped
It was hard to admit
We were never really fit inside a home
Two weeks left, and all alone
Around the same time, I started talkin' more to Soph
Funny how a thousand opened when we chose to close the door
Wish I knew it all before, but that's just how it goes
When we swam into the lake, rain pourin' on the shore
After Cabin fell apart, we had nothin' to control
But at least we're still alive, and at least you're on my phone
I just hope it's not the end, but it's feelin' like we're close

[Bridge: Kevin Hackett]
We were fallin' apart on the runway
Now I'm bettin' it all on a someday
I wanna fly
I know one day I'll be there
Now we’re fallin' apart on the runway
And now I'm bettin' it all on a someday
I wanna fly
I know one day I'll be there
(I'll be there)
(I’ll be there)
Now I'm fallin' apart on the runway
And now I'm bettin' it all on a someday
I wanna fly
(Yeah)

[Chorus: Josiah Davis, Kevin Hackett]
You're in a place I can't find
In my mind, can we get back?
Are we still intact?
Now I'm fallin' apart on the runway
And I know it's all behind
And now I'm bettin' it all on a someday
But I’ll try to relive that
I wanna fly
I promise I'll fix that
I know some day I'll be there
(You're in a place I can't find)
(In my mind, can we get back?)
(Are we still intact?)

[Outro]
I know these will all be stories someday
And our pictures will become old photographs
But right now, this is happening
And in this moment… you are alive
