List of Faces is a song about the friends who got away. Gorgeously produced and mixed by Marin Ishida, it stirs together feelings of hope, longing, and frustration related to my social anxiety. Lyrics below.
lyrics
Have you forgotten 'bout the words we exchanged last December?
I wouldn’t blame you, 'cause I know I’ve blown them up inside my head
But to me they actually happened to mean a little something
Because in your eyes I thought I glimpsed what could’ve been ahead
But the vision always ends
Because I suck at making friends
Still you pass through my mind on occasion
And I hope that I will grow
Into someone who doesn’t have to just keep adding
To the list of faces she might like to get to know
This break has killed the momentum of our tiny budding friendship
But I’ve a feeling it was never even really there to start
Because I don’t put the work in; I never feed the flames
I miss the mark, 'cause I don’t throw a dart
So the vision always ends
Because I suck at making friends
Still you pass through my mind on occasion
And I hope that I will grow
Into someone who doesn’t have to just keep adding
To the list of faces she might like to get to know
