about

"Lauren" is a song that was inspired by a dream. A dream that I had while I was sleeping at my parents house. In the dream I remember not being able to move, just laying on the ground staring at the window when a woman appeared. Someone I had never met before but felt like I knew. I don't remember much else from the dream but when I woke up that morning and unlocked my phone I opened my notes app and typed "don't lose hope." For some reason that was the first thought I had that morning. Where the name "Lauren" ties in is kind of deep, but a few years before I was born my mother had a miscarriage, it was a girl they were going to name Lauren. After telling my mother about the dream, I decided the dream was worth writing a song about.

lyrics

The wind is blowing through your window 
It's getting dark as you conjure up 
The air is cold, your breath smells like smoke
But you were all I could remember when I awoke 
You said don't lose hope

And now the sky is completely black 
As if the world acknowledged a life that's passed 
But if you're not there to call my bluffs
Would anyone care if I spoke up 
You said don't lose, hope

The night you came you spoke to me
You found me in the midst of a dream 
But I don't know if I can believe it 
The night you came you spoke to me 
You said some things that I cannot repeat  
And I don't know if I can believe it
Not in the end

You told me
The sun will rise
If you choose to believe
Then I’ll see you soon

The night you came you spoke to me
You found me in the midst of a dream 
But I don't know if I can believe it 
The night you came you spoke to me 
And said some things that I cannot repeat 
And I don't know if I can believe it

Oh not in the end
In the end

Not in the end
In the end
