Turning Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hold you
I hold you closer than I ever knew
I could do
But I’m confused
I thought I’d recognize when love was true
But I’m confused
Am I ready for love or maybe just a best friend
Should there be a difference?
Do you have instructions?
Maybe I’m stuck on what I see on TV
I grew up on Disney
But this don’t feel like Disney
You say I turned out fine
I think I’m still turning out
You say I turned out fine
I think I’m still turning out
In my mind
I thought the birds would sing and sparks would fly
But it’s just quiet
Am I cruel?
Or am I ignorant? Or was I fooled
By the stories I knew?
Am I ready for love or maybe just a best friend
Should there be a difference?
Do you have instructions?
Maybe I’m stuck on what I see on TV
I grew up on Disney
But this don’t feel like Disney
You say I turned out fine
I think I’m still turning out
You say I turned out fine
I think I’m still turning out
I hope you stick around
We’re gonna figure it out
Who can I turn to now
When I’m still turning out
When I’m still turning out
I’m a little kid and so are you
Don’t you go and grow up before I do
I’m a little kid with so much doubt
Do you wanna be there to see how I turn out
I’m a little kid and so are you
Don’t you go and grow up before I do
I’m a little kid with so much doubt
Do you wanna be there to see how I turn out
I’m a little kid and so are you
Don’t you go and grow up before I do
I’m a little kid with so much doubt
Do you wanna be there to see how I turn out
I’m a little kid and so are you
Don’t you go and grow up before I do
I’m a little kid with so much doubt
Do you wanna be there to see how I turn out
'Cause I’m still turning out
