Wash Away Lyrics

Cover art for Wash Away lyrics by Matt Costa

my boyfriend of almost two years ended our relationship because he feels as if there are other things he has to take care of, like figuring out who he is, before coming back to this relationship. we both still care about each other deeply, but right now he just wants to go in another direction and be out of a relationship until he gets settled into college and his life all makes sense, which is when he thinks he'll deserve someone like me.

this song means so much to me because he made me a playlist of his favourite indie music one day, and I've been listening to it every night before bed. this song came on and the lyrics hit me hard.

I feel that it's about a girl he dated who just needed to go in a different direction for a little while. It's not that the relationship went bad or there was anything wrong with him. She just... it's what she needed. And they've built so much together and it just makes it all so much harder to let it go, but you know there'll always be another chance. somewhere down the line. because a connection that strong never truly fades.
