[Intro]
Yeah, okay

[Verse 1]
It's just that summer feel
That sun that lights us hell
Everything will be okay just 'cause it says it will
It's just that little thought
That feel that can't be bought
That belief that a schoolroom is not where life is taught
It's taught out here, it's in that summer air
It's in that first sip of beer where you look at the crew and realize that everything you need is there
So many questions just a second ago
Now it's all just too clear
It's those moments in life where we all feel that true peace
How does a table for two turn to a beautiful feast?
Those moments when life don't seem so hard
And just for a second, you feel you played the right cards
It's those moments when you realized you accomplished all of your goals
Did it on your own, no matter what you were told
How do you better perfection when it's all already been heard?
So when I reach that point, help give me the words

[Chorus]
Ooh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ooh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

[Verse 2]
It's just that winter cold, that fear of gettin' old
Everything will be okay, but we know we're 'bout to fold
That inspiration lost; that creativity crossed
That feeling of defeat when one too many songs is tossed
That feeling of perfection; how do you find direction
When you find that all you have done needs zero correction?
That's when you hit the wall, the engine start to stall
Then something goes terribly wrong and you find it all
A world of words found within that hurt
It's a miracle but it's also a motherfuckin' painful birth
When you start to believe there's still more that it needs
There's still a lot of pages left in this notebook to read

[Chorus]
Ooh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ooh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Abstract

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
