[Verse 1] Blank page, cursor blinking Been staring at this thing for half a day now Could write about the headlines But honestly I don’t know how to make that sound like me
Should I do a hook about a moment Something catchy people sing along Maybe borrow from a trend I barely follow ) And pretend I wrote it all along
[Pre-Chorus - three inner voices debating, cutting each other off] Maybe something fun A popular show— Or romance? Wait— I don’t know what love feels like yet
[Chorus] Open ended conversations I keep having with myself at two AM Open ended conversations That always start with “what if” and end at “then again” Maybe this, maybe that, maybe something in between Open ended conversations About what a song is even supposed to mean
[Verse 2] Thought about a fantasy concept A whole world I built inside my head Got excited, wrote eight lines Then deleted seven and cried over the eighth
Heard this girl that everyone is playing Thought maybe I could do it that way too Two seconds later put my journal down That’s her song and I’d just be a review
[Pre-Chorus] Okay, about myself? …not that interesting A love song then? I genuinely don’t know what that is yet
[Chorus] Open ended conversations I keep having with myself at four AM Open ended conversations That always start with “what if” and end at “then again” Maybe this, maybe that, maybe something in between Open ended conversations About what a song is even supposed to mean
[Bridge - quieter, a little darker] Everyone seems so sure about their sound (Na na na na) I’m over here rotating seventeen tabs (oh oh oh oh) Second guessing every word before it’s written And writing about second guessing ‘cause that’s all I have (La la la la)
And maybe that’s it Maybe that’s the song The question I keep asking Already proves where I belong
[Pre-Chorus - landing on something] Okay, about myself Maybe more interesting than I thought Not romance, not fantasy But it’s honest And it’s mine And that’s all I’ve got (let’s try)
[Chorus] Open ended conversations I keep having with myself at six AM Open ended conversations That always start with “what if” and end at “then again” Maybe this, maybe that, maybe something in between Open ended conversations About what a song is even supposed to mean
[Final Chorus - key lift, still searching] Open ended conversations I keep having with myself at seven AM Open ended conversations That always end with “okay, me then” (Na na na na) Maybe this, maybe that, but let’s start with what’s true Open ended conversations Finally ended with the answer that I knew
[Outro - dry, self-aware] Great. Now I have to write it.
HEY! Did someone write that down??
