about

This song is for when you're feeling unfulfilled, unaccomplished, and like you can't do anything right. Don't worry, we're in this together.

lyrics

Long, long ago I knew a little girl
I always wondered where she'd land.
Would she grow up to one day rule the world?
Would she be stifled by a man?
There were so many possibilities
Can someone tell me please why it ended up this way?

From what I saw she never stood a chance
It was a tale as old as time.
No single part of it was circumstance
Fit every reason, every rhyme.
I wish I could go back, tell her not to hold back
Get her that photo back and help her get away.

Can't keep my foot out of my mouth
It weighs on my mind all the time
Socially inept, awkward, I'm too scared to do things with my life.
Instead I waste my money on
Things I will not have in a week
I have perfected my technique for all the havoc I will wreak.

Fast-forward to a weekend late last month
I found that little girl again
On the outside she'd grown up a lot
Inside I think she still feels 10.
Fighting to break free of what she mistook for love
His hand on hers like a glove, she can't touch anything.

Can't keep my foot out of my mouth
It weighs on my mind all the time
Socially inept, awkward, I'm too scared to do things with my life.
Instead I waste my money on
Things I will not have in a week
I have perfected my technique for all the havoc I will wreak.

Oh, and so it goes
And I think everybody knows
Reach into my mind
Release the fears that keep me dragging
So far behind.
