Gotta Give It Up

i'm an introverted extrovert
i stay inside, get my feelings hurt
i'm watching all these stories, other people hanging out
convincing myself i ain't really missing out
i'm 17, ain't never got a birthday post
no memories on snap
no tagging others in a post
when high school's over, i'mma be all alone
so i know i'll never make it on my own
so i gotta give it up
get out of my head, get out of my bed
ask somebody if they up
at 3 AM instead of wishing i was dead
'cause i done had enough
get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
while your friends are staying up
so get out of your house, start trying to hang out
i never fit the definition of a normal teen
never hung out on the weekends, not normally
when i did, it felt like hanging out with family
they was mostly just my cousins from my family tree
but now they're going off to college, and so are all my friends
paying out-of-state tuition, getting married, having kids
i know there's others left and if i want life to improve
i know i gotta go and make a move
so i gotta give it up
get out of my head, get out of my bed
ask somebody if they up
at 3 AM instead of wishing i was dead
'cause i done had enough
get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
while your friends are staying up
go get out of the house, start trying to hang out
we be shopping and drinking smoothies
and hopping movie to movie
pretending like we are groupies
blare music we think is groovy
night climbing around a playground
play fighting while riding greyhound
wayfinding train tracks to lay down
highlighting the time we made out
and trying to build a fire
and calling each other liars
and rolling down hills in tires
prank calling numbers on flyers
and falling asleep on shoulders
swap hoodies as it gets colder
and wishing we won't grow older 'cause tonight
i just gotta give it up
get out of my head, get out of my bed
ask somebody if they up
at 3 AM instead or wishing i was dead
'cause i done had enough
get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
while your friends are staying up
go get out of your house, start trying to hang out
i gotta give it up
get out of my head, get out of my bed
ask somebody if they up
at 3 AM instead or wishing i was dead
'cause i done had enough
get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
while your friends are staying up
so get out of the house, start trying to hang out
i gotta give it up
get out of my head, get out of my bed
ask somebody if they up
at 3 AM instead or wishing i was dead
'cause i done had enough
get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
while your friends are staying up
so get out of your house, start trying to hang out

Sugar Plum

sun kissed skin and sun soaked eyes
like a sunset starting to say goodbye
man, if i had guts, then i might try
to propose some things that i'm way too shy to ask
like are you single? what makes you cry?
do you have a favorite color? am i your type?
do you wanna be a mother? morning, day, or night?
do you got a man or got a wife?
baby, will you be my sugar plum?
you make my mouth go dry and my knees feel numb
i don't really care if i seem dumb
but i really really hope that you're the one
who can make my darkest days all seem so bright
as you hold me by your side under candlelight
while we're still young and the night's not done
i hope to be your sugar plum
dark brown bangs that you push aside
and a fashion sense that turns all eyes
and a voice so soft it can't surprise
unless someday you change my mind
when i ask you if i have a chance
if i could ask you to the dance
or if you think that stuff is lame
we'll just stay home, but either way
i ain't got no complaints
baby, will you be my sugar plum?
you make my mouth go dry and my knees feel numb
i don't really care if i seem dumb
but i really really hope that you're the one
who can make my darkest days all seem so bright
as you hold me by your side under candlelight
while we're still young and the night's not done
i hope to be your sugar plum, so
baby, will you be my sugar plum?
you make my mouth go dry and my knees feel numb
i don't really care if i seem dumb
but i really really hope that you're the one
who can make my darkest days all seem so bright
as you hold me by your side under candlelight
while we're still young and the night's not done
i hope to be your sugar plum
