[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I've been trying for so long

To make sense of making songs

Forging purpose, feigning pride

Standing static, paralyzed

Oh, I don't do much at all

Idling null before the fall

Didn't think I'd turn out to be so weak

I just want to improve and impress you

I'm looking right up at you, oh

But I'm barely enough for myself

Nor those looking up at me too

[Pre-Chorus]

This pageless poet has the prowess of a pigeon

And when faced with failure I don't stand a chance

You say I'm special as I shadow your success

But I can't make a living if I can't catch my breath

[Chorus]

Falling like a drop from cloud to cheek

I don't have the means to be a prodigy

Still, I am gonna make it, don't you see?

And I'll reach the hand extended out from you to me

I want it to be true, I wanna be just like you

I'd do anything to stand with you one day

I'll be your earnest protégé

[Verse 2]

You've been working for so long

You've made sense of making songs

You've found purpose where you are

You're a self-made superstar

I remind you of yourself

I'm a mirror to your past

So, does the answer come with time?

Can you tell me?

[Bridge]

Do I have the strength to grow up?

Do I have what it takes, or is it all in my head?

Am I quick or just impatient?

Planting the seeds too late, rushing the incubation

Can't take being amateur, I practice day and night

To get to a state where I am certain that I truly belong

(Are you ready? My chud life)

I want it more than anything

I want it more than anything

(Can you teach me to be)

[Pre-Chorus]

Someone worth the energy, who knows their worth entirely

And breaks down every boundary, eurythmy always following

With music that means more than anything

Can you teach me to be real?

[Chorus]

(I'm such a fucking chud)

Falling like a drop from cloud to cheek

Oh, I'll live in parallel with all my dreams

I give in to the noise and finally see

I've been singing to a crowd who all feel just like me

I want it to be true, I wanna be just like you

I'd do anything to make you proud one day

I'll be your steadfast protégé

You'll cheer my name

[Outro]
