[Intro]
What am I afraid of?
That’s a really good question
I don’t know
I’ve been afraid of telling you this
This whole time
But… I’m afraid of you
I’m afraid of the right thing
I hope you can at least respect that I’m honest about it
[Verse 1]
Finished
That’s not the word
Is it commitment?
Don’t know if I can settle down now
But girl you’ve changed me for awhile and now, now, now
See every time I'm in the clutches of you
I think of all the ways that I would love you
The very moment I stare into your eyes
I'm overthinking ‘bout the rest of our lives
Can’t leave you out in the cold
But I'm afraid to get old
With somеone I can’t be sure is gonna lovе me forever
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
Can I be settled down? (Can I be settled down?)
Can I be sure that this is gonna work?
Scared of going first
Always end up hurt
Can’t pour out all my feelings so how
Can I be settled down? (Can I be settled down?)
I’m never sure if I can trust my heart
Maybe we can start
I can feel your pain
Only being honest with you
[Post Chorus]
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I’m not afraid
To love again
I’m scared it all
Comes to end
What if it works?
What if there’s joy?
I’m scared of peace
And happiness
Push you away
Leave you instead
This wintertime
Gets in my head
I don’t need warmth
Let me be cold
But when you touch me it’s over
You know that I’ll always fold
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh, oh, ooh, oh,oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus 2]
Are you down to be
A distraction baby?
But don’t distract me
And I can’t lose again on love anymore
Oh, oh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No
And I can’t take these feelings out on you anymore
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you, do you, do you, do you, wanna be
Oh oh

[Verse 3]
Oh, oh
I’m new here
In this new year
It’s too clear
To my new peers
It’s cold out
My heart froze
I’m frostbit
In my clothes
What’s freedom
In this storm?
I need love
My heart’s worn
I’m covered in my history
Treat love like a mystery
Wallow in my misery
I can’t solve these feelings at all
Pressure at my age to think of settling down
Chaos in this generation I can’t break out
Stuck inside my life and I can’t open it out
Broken in my heart the same in my bank account
I’m new here
In this new year
It’s too clear
To my new peers
Scared of being hurt again
Lost and stuck in my whirlwind
Can’t escape my generation
Do I do here?
I’m new here
What do I do here?
New here
What do I do here?
Babe I’m new here
What do I do here?
New here
What do I do here?
New here
What do I do here?
New here
What do I do in here?
New here…
