Shungudzo Instagram – Here’s a song that will come out someday. I love this one so much. It gave me hope and perspective in a hard time. (Like, perhaps heartbreak isn’t about what you’ve lost but rather about what you haven’t found yet. Maybe the pain is derived from a hope, and certainty, that there’s something better out there for you, and a longing for it to get to you soon.) This version of “If you’re out there” was recorded live, entirely on iPhones, in the current and maybe forever love of my life, Rome. 🎥: @carlocorbellini (my best friend and favorite visual collaborator). Guitar: @raazalgul (whom I met via helping his grandparents at an airport). Flute: @what_even.jpg (whom I met in my former life as a journalist). Birds: singing in the trees.

Lyrics:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here I am
In a brand new place
With the same old heartbreak
Bringing me down
I understand
All the time it takes
All the changes I have to make
’Til you come around
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love of my life
If you’re out there
I’m right here
Crying over you
Don’t wait too long
I ain’t that strong
All these years
Crying over you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where are you?
With a love you’ll lose?
And do you ever catch yourself wishing that they were someone else
But you just don’t know who?
Here I am
Looking at the stars
Trying to trust the universe
The twists and turns
The coldest burns
’Til it shows me where you are
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love of my life
If you’re out there
I’m right here
Crying over you
Don’t wait too long
I ain’t that strong
All these years
Crying over you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not mad
At the past
‘Cause it’s dead and gone
Not mad
At my ex
‘Cause they ain’t the one
We tried
’Til the end
But it wasn’t right
Guess I’ve always known
That I’d spend my life
With you babe
It’s true babe
We’ll find each other soon
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll dance
Every night
In the living room
We’ll grow
On our own
But together too
We’ll fight
But I’ll never be scared of you
Fuck it, hey
I might even marry you
I know it
I know that
We’ll find each other soon
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love of my life
If you’re out there
I’m right here
Crying over you
Don’t wait too long
I ain’t that strong
All these years
