Lyrics
Sidelines
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'm not afraid of anything at all
Not dying in a fire, not being broke again
I'm not afraid of living on a fault line
'Cause nothing ever shakes me, nothing makes me cry
Not a plane going down
In the ocean and drowning
Watched the world from the sidelines
Had nothing to prove
Till you came into my life
Gave me something to lose
Now I know what it feels like
To want to go outside
Like the shape of my outline
I'm not afraid of going back to school
I gave it up the first time, but I'll try again
I'm not afraid of getting older
Used to fetishize myself
Now I'm talking to my house plants
Not of being alone
In a room full of people
Watching the world from the sidelines
Had nothing to prove
Till you came into my life
Gave me something to lose
Now I know what it feels like
To want to go outside
Like the shape of my outline
And I used to think
You could hear the ocean in a seashell
What a childish thing
