eldest child - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Take off your jacket, stay a while

Eldest child, you make them smile

Pay the price, it goes a mile

Give me one more chance to smile

Eldest child, eldest child

You gotta walk a long road, I know you tired

Eldest child, eldest child

I know your momma and your daddy so goddamn proud about it

They don't know me, no

They don't know me now

They don't know nothin' about me, they don't know me, no

They don't know me, no

They don't know me now

They don't know nothin' about me, they don't know me

Pretty girls and cars, God, I'm sucking my cheeks in

Shimmering miragе, I can see what I wanna be

Pretty girls, no hearts, wе can't be what we wanna be

Many dreams, many stars, many broken promises, not a keep

Tryna, tryna keep up

Trying not to keep up

It's hard tryna to keep it up

Tryin' not to keep up—

Take off your jacket and stay a while

Eldest child, you make them smile

Gotta pay that price, it goes a mile

Give me one more chance to smile

Eldest child, eldest child

I know you walk a long road, I know you tired

Eldest child, eldest child

I know you make your mom and daddy so goddamn proud

(Listen)

They don't know me, no

They don't know me now

They don't know nothing about me, they don't know me, no

They don't know me

They don't know me now

They don't know nothing about me, they don't know me now

Yeah

I wish you knew, I wish you knew, I wish you knew

Keep my attention short, I'll think about you way too much
