lyrics

I wrote a song it’s two years long
So please know that I’m here yes I’m here yes I’m here
I just take a long time to respond
Feeling perpetually 19
When I’m 22 years old
And this space I make is a fragment of my face
And I’ll stick to the beat and I’ll say a few times

Give me the person inside
Not who you were a year ago
Declare who you are right now
And I think I’ll let myself go

I’ll breathe along
The earth’s not gone
So please know that I’m here yes I’m here yes I’m here
I’ll double-text back to be clear

And when I’m finally 25
I’ll reflect back to when I was 9
Cause’ the times that I’ve lived will never go away
And I’ll say to your face that I’m the same but yet I’ve changed

Give me the person inside
Not who you were a year ago
Declare who you are right now
And I think I’ll let myself go

I’ll declare my will and my testament
I’ll declare my will and my testament
I’ll step forward if you step back
I’ll step forward if you step back

Give me the person inside
Not who you were a year a go
Declare who you are right now
And I think I’ll let myself go
