[Intro]
If I leave in the mornin', if I do go away
If I do have a life to lead, know—well, I couldn't stay
If I leave in the mornin', if I'm gone one day
Hope I do come back to you, hope one day I stay
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
I just had to let you know
You're my Bonnie, I'm your Clyde
You the one who down to ride
You're the savior in my nightmares when it's darkest in the night
You the one who picked me up when no one showed me love
You a angel undercover, your home is up above

[Verse]
I've been trippin' like luggage
Ride around the city with a buzz, like fuck it
Feelings buckshot, yeah, I know I can't duck it
But at the same time feelin' like I can't trust it
History like textbooks, love story textbook
Don't open up my phone to even see how ya text look
Long distant call and we still connected
Walls caved in and I'm tryin' to exit
My communication terrible, mood unbearable
And I know to you that kind of me ain't fair at all
I've been messin' up since I made the move
Expectation versus reality, a hell of a truth
Don't know what I thought it would make of me
I was thinkin' of it like it was some make-believe
Back home I would suffocate inside the walls
Guess I thought when I left they would finally fall

[Bridge]
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul

[Outro]
If I leave, if I do go away
If I do have a life to lead (live to lead)
Know—well, I couldn't stay (know—well, I)
If I leave in the mornin', if I'm gone one day
Hope I do come back to you, hope one day I stay
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try and how hard it is for my soul
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
'Cause if I leave, if I do go away
If I do have a life to lead, know—well, I couldn't stay
If I leave in the mornin', if I'm gone one day
Hope I do come back to you, hope one day I stay, yeah

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.
