When Will I Learn Lyrics

Wanted to get away
Thought I could find a place
Where everything would just make sense

Wanted to see the light
Thought I could find the fight
In me to get me through my day

Oh, the ocean is breaking me apart
In darkness fighting just to swim
How can I hold my heart

When will I learn

I tried to have a voice
Knowing that it’s my choice
Whether I’ll ever break away

Maybe it’s just pretend
But I will try again
Until I’m happy in my space

Oh the mountain is crumbling from all sides
Frozen, I could try to run
Or I could close my eyes

When will I learn

[marcelomeanswarrior]

im coming back from a really dark place in my life. this song made me go through a really long, much-needed cry session.
for me, the most impactful part is:
"But I will try again
Until I'm in my happy space"
that, like, SPOKE to me. i was in my room and kneeling and smiling stupid through my tears because hey, there's hope.
thank you, Kina!

beautiful! Congratulations Kina!! Can't wait for more music!

[busterfly]

this is probably a weird comment but the way kina sings the letter i sound is so distinct and beautiful to me

[elenita]

Thank you Kina. This song hits me. Actually a lof of your songs have that effect in me. If I got the essence right, this song really described how I feel now. Thank you for all the beautiful and meaningful music you create.

Dr Kina I LOVE this song. The beginning bell sound is so enchanting. Looks like you were at the sand spot right before heading into Oxnard on PCH. I travelled that road so many times. Just saw you for my second time in SF. You and Jesse are so amazing. Have a safe tour Kina. KG family until my last breath. If I was a millionaire, I'd buy you and Jesse your own mansion. You two deserve all the best in life.

[MastaOfTrouble]

Kina this is so so SO beautiful! Can't wait for your new album <3

I have never felt more connected to a song of yours until this song came out . I have always tried avoiding problems, and I'm finally understanding that I need to stand firm and work through them to learn from my mistakes instead of running away from them . Thank you so much for posting this song 💚

I am deeply moved. Coming from a struggle with depression..this song feels so melancholy and makes my heart feel something perhaps lost. A feeling of understanding. Thank you Kina. Thank you for writing the feelings I could not feel.

[hanzib]

KINA. I LOVE IT. Its so beautiful. I love the lyrics, the harmonies and the simple yet striking production. And the video matches the vibe of the song so well....i love the curls too! Everything just seems so natural and raw. 😚 Also, the lyrics remind me a little of the feelings i get when i listen to the goldfish song in places... thats always been one of my favourites so i love it 😊

[gayanehk]

Thankyou ... I have no other word. The world is such a softer place when someone can put in words what you feel and can't express.
Love from France

Your song found me in a moment of "shadows", and made me able to look up and see the light. The simple thought that other people are feeling the same way about life makes its burden bearable - but seeing how such beauty and creation can come out of these very moments is... priceless! Thank you Kina, so much. Big hug from Wallis&Futuna (lost islands in the Pacific). <3

Before seeing that post on Facebook today, I thought it was silly for Kina to make a song like this. I believed that her life is almost perfect, that she has it all figured out. I had no idea about the struggles that she has faced for many years and are very similar to my own. It's just incredible how little we know other people yet how alike we all are. Lots of love for this amazing community Kina has built ❤️❤️❣️😍

[Wewereneveryoung]

I love that she's wearing her curly hair 😍... I missed this Kina.. she always spoke to my heart

[busapassion]

One yes Thanks for signing all eight cds. Love you mucho

[michaelsebastiane]

The little smile near the ending was perfect. As always, thank you, Kina.

[alisoncosker]

kg. this is just so so so so wonderful. I have not stopped listening to it since its release. very proud, and touched, and just a million things. so gorgeous. it's reminiscent of old while still being really new and wonderful and grown. YOU'RE THE BEST.

[eveeludbrook]

Gorgeous song, video, singing, backing vocals, sunsets, smiles! All of it!

[ZionGuySupreme]

After every stanza through the pentatonic melody... man. Wish I could live there forever

[romeo]
