OKAY ANYWAY

If I could have a conversation with myself in the 10th grade

Between the only child syndrome and the emo phase

Occasionally confident, but mostly, that was fake

Don't think I'd believe most of the things I'd have to say

In a couple years, your mother's getting sober

In a couple years, the acne will be over

Some things you fear most come true

But a couple things you only dream of do too

Hey, you, locked in your bathroom

With your hands in your hair

Look up to your mirror

Can you picture me there?

Whether or not you want it

Your whole life's gonna change

I'd be lying saying, "Everything will be okay"

You're gonna be okay anyway

If I could have a conversation with myself around sixteen

'Fore talking 'bout your feelings came into popularity

Was tripping over my definition of masculinity

So obsessed with who I'm not and who I think I'm supposed to be

In a couple years, the part of you you fight with

It doesn't leave you, but you kinda start to like it

Some things you fear most come true

But a couple things you only dream of do too

Hey, you, locked in your bathroom

With your hands in your hair

Look up to your mirror

Can you picture me there?

Whether or not you want it

Your whole life's gonna change

I'd be lying saying, "Everything will be okay"

You're gonna be okay anyway

You're gonna be okay anyway

Hey, you, locked in your bathroom

With your hands in your hair

Look up to your mirror

Can you picture me there?

Whether or not you want it

Your whole life's gonna change

I'd be lying saying, "Everything will be okay"

You're gonna be okay anyway
