[Verse 1] Sometimes I don't know what to say
So much you're at a loss for words
Sometimes you tell me I'm alright
I barely think that I concur
And all of my friends have lost their light like c-c-c-cataracts
And I believe that if I chase something
I'll end up with what I deserve

[Pre-Chorus 1] There's many, many things that can you can do, yeah
There's many, many places you could see, yeah
But you're stuck right here
Waiting for the world to change your point of view

[Chorus] I've been nothing but notes and strings for so long, so long
I've heard nothing but my gramps telling me to go so far, so far
Oh, feel it running in my hands and my head
From my toes up (to my) sore heart
I've seen nothing but growth and everybody show love, (so I) show love

[Verse 2] Sometimes I don't know if you're playing me, playing me
You sound rehearsed and when you talk it's like a play to me
Say something real, don't make that face to me
I said I'm in too deep, it's not a phase
And all my friends have lost their light like cigarettes
I believed that if I make something new
Youʼd love me for myself and everything I've been through

[Pre-Chorus 2] ‘Cause there's many many places you could be, yeah
There's many many faces you could see, yeah
But you're stuck right here
Waiting for my words to change your point of view
So I said

[Chorus] I've been nothing but notes and strings for so long, so long
I've heard nothing but my gramps telling me to go so far, so far
Oh, feel it running in my hands and my head
From my toes up (to my) sore heart
I've seen nothing but growth and everybody show love, (so I) show love

[Outro] Show love, show love
Show love, (so I) show love
