[Verse 1] Top of the class Gold stars on my name Every question Every test Felt like a simple game Parents in the front row Clapping in that stiff slow way Teachers said "He's gonna go far" Like I’d already gone away But you Second row Blue pen Curled hair Laughing at a margin doodle Caught me staring Looked back Held there My brilliant brain turned on I could calculate the stars out loud Win debates Dismantle fears Yet every time you said my name It short-circuited my years [Pre-Chorus] I had answers ready For a thousand different whys But nothing in the textbooks For the color of your eyes [Chorus] I'm the prodigy Tongue-tied Genius on the wrong side Of a three-word sentence That I can't get right I can map the whole sky Still I'm standing here Shy 'Cause "I love you" feels Like the hardest thing to write For the prodigy Tongue-tied [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Fast track Young job Office with a city view Screens filled with moving numbers None of them as sharp as you You brought coffee Wrong order Smiled when I said it’s fine Kept your wristband from that concert Wrapped twice Fraying at the spine You asked "You ever scared You peaked a little too soon?" I laughed Changed the subject Talked about the moon How some light is ancient By the time it meets your face I almost said "That’s how I feel Every time you're in this place" [Pre-Chorus] Got a head full of data And a throat full of glass Every maybe Every later Just another chance I pass [Chorus] I'm the prodigy Tongue-tied Genius on the wrong side Of a three-word sentence That I can't get right I can map the whole sky Still I'm standing here Shy 'Cause "I love you" feels Like the hardest thing to write For the prodigy Tongue-tied [Instrumental] [Bridge] They said "He don't miss" Till it mattered like this (oh, like this, like this) All my trophies in the corner Collecting quiet dust Every medal Every ribbon Never taught me how to trust One small jump Across this tiny Trembling line Your eyes on mine Your hand close to mine [Chorus] I'm the prodigy Tongue-tied Genius on the wrong side Of a three-word sentence That I can't get right I can map the whole sky But I'm done just watching light So I breathe in Shake Try Let the fear and logic slide (And I love you) Spoken Shaking Still And it terrifies my pride But it's the smartest thing I’ve ever tried From a prodigy Untied Yeah Untied! [Extended Instrumental]
