[Verse]

When I was 9 years old I went to the store

I pointed out to a

Hollow instrument by the door

I said dad can we buy it

He said

Son slow down for a second til you try it

It didn't sound the best or prettiest

In fact the wood looked kinda hideous

But I saw in it

A little piece of me

Fast forward to 18

My late teens

Questioning why I'm waiting

Hating my

Lazy lies

I know writing music ain't the greatest solution

But I can't come up with a better dilution

For my own mind

[Chorus]

So I grab my first guitar

Never thought I'd ever be behind this far

Watchin' as you pass me like a shootin' star

And I'm still stuck on earth

Yeah

And so I'll write a song

And cry about what I'm doing wrong

And pray that I would become that strong

And just for a moment I'd like myself

So I grab my first guitar

Never thought I'd ever be behind this far

Watchin' as you pass me like a shootin' star

And I'm still stuck on earth

And so I'll write a song

And cry about what I'm doing wrong

And pray that I would become that strong

And just for a moment I'd like myself

[Outro]

So I grab my first guitar

Never thought I'd ever be behind this far

Watchin' as you pass me like a shootin' star

And I'm still stuck on earth

Yeah

And so I'll write a song

And cry about what I'm doing wrong

And pray that I would become that strong

And just for a moment I'd like myself
