about

Originally written for the MAIKAVERSE compilation album.

No one will believe me, but at one point this was inspired by Sonic Forces. Seriously. I had just finished that game and was sort of a mess with how much I loved it (in terms of the story. Gameplay was lacking). I think I started writing this song about my OC's journey, being inspired by a role model (Sonic) to push forward.

Eventually, it turned into something more like a love song. Wanting to make a future for oneself that could be shared with someone precious. Importantly, it starts as a passive "waiting for" and becomes an active "fighting for" that dream.

lyrics

Longing for
Something more
Breaking free
What could I be?

It touches me to the core
What you seem ready for

What I find
Was a sign
Within my heart
From the very start

But I'm afraid to follow through
So I'll learn from what you do

I could count to infinity
And I would wait for eternities
To have a space just for you and me
Somewhere safe, like a pleasant dream

When the darkness falls, I'll be
There for you at your calling
And when it's time to take our leave
We'll have a place in infinity

Back before
Before the war
The things I feared
When they drew near

I turned tail and ran away
Felt I'd live another day

But what I felt
As time was dealt
Dissatisfied, as if by design

But then you came into my life
Showed me ways to face my fight

I could count to infinity
And I would wait for eternities
To have a space just for you and me
Somewhere safe, like a pleasant dream

When the darkness falls, I'll be
There for you at your calling
And when it's time to take our leave
We'll have a place in infinity

But I don't wanna wait, no more
Cuz I know what I'm fighting for
Somewhere in the dark, I'll be
Fighting for my infinity

No, I don't wanna wait, no more
Cuz I know who I'm fighting for
Till the day I die, I'll be
Fighting for our infinity

So I'm not gonna wait, no more
Cuz I know what I'm fighting for
Somewhere in the dark, I'll be
Fighting for my infinity

So I'm not gonna wait, no more
Cuz I know who I'm fighting for
Till the day I die, I'll be
Fighting for our infinity
