Verse 1
What if I told you, that I had my suspicions,
That this just ain’t going as we planned
Some indications say we best prepare for failure
And leave this right on where it stands
Verse 2
What If I told you that I had fallen victim
And My mind had finally given way
To some grand scheme and some catered pipeline dream
And somehow you might wanna stay
Pre-chorus
And I so ooh, child, things will get better
Before the end we’ll get ahead
And I said ooh child, things will get brighter
And of this old skin we will shed
Verse 3
What if I told you that I get so frustrated
When you tell me that I’m wrong
I’ll give you the truth, though it’s not the same for you
And your just mad cause I’m far gone
Verse 4
What if you told me that “there was no right answer
“It’s all fabrication in your head
“There’s no proof or facts, there’s only validation”
And I should take right back every word I said
Pre Chorus
And I’d say ooh child, I know you’ll fight this
And contextualize what’s out of place
And I said ooh child, I know you’ll fight this
That while I’m getting angry
A smile is on your face
Chorus
And I said “I know a little better
“Than to see these things from solely my point of view”
And I said “I have learned a bit since I was young
“And some of these shots, they’re worth just taking to”
Verse 5
What If I told you that this was my intention
To hold fast while this storm is strong
To sacrifice my ship, but never bail out, lose myself to quick
And wait for the sun to come along
Verse 6
And yes girl, there’s a method to my increased derangement
And my candor is refined
So if you feel yourself lose calm in navigation
Why don’t you tie your boat right up next to mine?
Chorus
And I said “I know a little better
“Than to see these things from solely my point of view”
And I said “I have learned a bit since I was young
“And some of these shots, they’re worth just taking to”
Oh you know that I get a little angry
When I see you walking around with that smile on your face
Oh girl you know that I have learned a bit since I was young
And I know not to put what was out of place
