"Dial Back the Time" - original song by Anthony Gargiula

hi friends! this is my original song called "dial back the time". i wrote this song about the complications of growing up, and the message means so much to me. thank you for all of your love and support. i truly appreciate it. :)
LYRICS:
i’ve been trying to find myself by looking in the mirror
but my mind is uncontrolled, keep living life in fear
i say i’m alright
as i turn out the light
as a child i used to always dream of getting old
but when i started to grow up, people got real cold
so much on my mind
will i ever be fine?
well life is way too short
to feel like i’m
always in the way,
i need to find
my own purpose
and why i’m worth it
oh i tend to lose myself sometimes
but i know one day i’ll be fine
complicated, it has been for a while
but this is no time to resign
i don’t want to get older,
i just have my own shoulder
to lean on right now
oh it’s not always an uphill climb
can we just dial back the time?
back when i could go outside and leave without my phone
when the hardest thing in life was picking out my clothes
in the morning,
and the night was boring
well life, it kinda hits you like a merry-go-round
and people will do anything to knock you down
but you get back up and
then it happens again
well life is way too short
to feel like i’m
always in the way,
i need to find
my own purpose
and why i’m worth it
oh i tend to lose myself sometimes
but i know one day i’ll be fine
complicated, it has been for a while
but this is no time to resign
i don’t want to get older,
i just have my own shoulder
to lean on right now
oh it’s not always an uphill climb
can we just dial back the time?
one day we won’t have to be alone, have to be alone
we don’t have to make it on out own, make it on our own
one day we won’t have to be alone, have to be alone
we don’t have to make it on out own, make it on our own
oh i tend to lose myself sometimes
but i know one day i’ll be fine
complicated, it has been for a while
but this is no time to resign
i don’t want to get older,
i just have my own shoulder
to lean on right now
oh it’s not always an uphill climb
can we just dial back the time?

[@joyceesays9919]

Anthony, I just saw the Four. You are amazing! Take their advice and find your niche. Take a breather and find your uniqueness. You are a good soul. But tap into your darkness. Sing it and bare your soul. You brought tears to many in your first song. You have it. Share your vulnerability. Lots of love!

[@t.8734]

I can't stop listening to this.💜

[@ventipinkdrinklightice]

I just found this and omg I love the subtle strum pattern on the uke in this song, as well as the Best Thing I Never Knew-esque riffs aaaaaaa

[@941091]

This is so good I'm in love with it ❤️❤️❤️❤️ can't wait to hear more from you 👏👏👏

[@brittanymichelle5220]

[@lemuelreyes1941]

Where you at man, you got talent and skill. Don't let what happened at the voice and what they said put you down. release more content, grind your social media, make originals, build your fan base, you got this. Light is not meant to be hidden under a basket, you have something to offer to the world. Put the time and effort into this and be hungry my guy. Let's go!

[@maryfrances8340]

I think you should compete in a television show ..I don’t understand why you aren’t famous you have a nice voice...

[@maryfrances8340]

Vanessa Smith - The Ultimate Fangirl too bad for him .. I saw him in the Four but yea he didn’t go far me he sounds like Sam Smith I think he can actually become an actual celebrity

[@why5609]
