Contend - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

These parts are unrecognizable now

The spot where you were gonna ask him out

Two watery eyes darting all around

Never stop being frightened by sound

Through the falling leaves, we thunder far across the land

And with you in my sight, sure hope that things all come as planned

Cause who knows

How can I contend by myself

When I've seen how it's hard enough just to be around?

And so I'm off to where my friends will be found

How can I contend by myself

When I've seen how it's hard enough just to be around?

That night we stuck together in the crowd

And me, so scared to say the words out loud

Two watery eyes darting all around

Whisper that "I love you" now

I had it figured out, now I feel a bit less confident

But now the earth is firm, let's run like we're both fawns again

Cause who knows

How can I contend by myself

When I've seen how it's hard enough just to be around?

And so I'm off to where my friends will be found

How can I contend by myself

When I've seen how it's hard enough just to be around?

So I'm off to where my friends will be found

Woah

Where my friends will be found

Woah

And we're falling behind, but the second before

We pick up speed to catch up with the rest

I see you smile at me

"Oh, were it for a cold one, but we'll make it through, I guess!"
