blink

Clara Benin

I never liked the feeling of sand

beneath my feet

But I love the feeling

I get when I'm in front of the sea

I tried to climb a mountain for my sister

I wasn't ready to disappoint her

There are things that keep me up at night

I don't know why I don't know why

That one time I quietly cried

Listening to Joni on a midnight flight

In a blink of an eye

This could all be gone

So I take my time

And just have fun

I like to drive alone well sometimes with you

It's the reason why

I always take the more scenic route

I try to be a friend to my brother

All I want is to see him better

There are things that keep me up all night

I don't know why I don't know why

I watched this movie a hundred times

I still laugh and cry every time

Everytime

In a blink of an eye

This could all be gone

So I take my time

And just have fun

In a blink of an eye

This could all be gone

So I take my time

And just have fun

I'll embrace every inch of

This space I'm living in

I won't waste a single step

I'm counting it all in

All my regrets and mistakes

Are lessons I hold close

My limbs are bruised

But I am healing

I am fully known
