Name: Great Expectations
Duration: P00H03M06S
Description: Took my first solo trip to the other side of the country and found myself aimlessly exploring as many California wonders as I could find. This is the product of my wandering teenage pleas and Buck Down's production prowess. Hope you'll tap your feet and hum the tune afterwards. Look out for more singles based in the cities I'll be venturing to in the coming months. Peace and love.

lyrics

Great Expectations
Eli Pafumi

Look at me
Like a silhouette
Round out the corners
Of your protagonist
Out from the shadows
Fade from black
I am back
And here I'll stay
Hope that's okay

CHORUS
Doing my best to pick up speed
Watch with your ears and you will see
These great expectations won't hold me

I've been bent
I've been broken
But I hope into a better shape
Dickens said it best
Suppose he prophesied
If these years are my novel
Read the pages inbetween
I hear the story picks up
After chapter eighteen

CHORUS

Rumors bounce of the wall
Like we're in a concert hall
Defy, exceed
I'm on my knees
The truth lies scattered in these A,B,C's

Standing here before you
Writing this train down the track
When I decided to go rogue
Risk and reward filled my backpack
I'll give you my love
I'll give you my pain
Here's the fruition of right brain
Don't judge this book
Without knowing how it ends

CHORUS
