December to Summer

V5.5

Verse 1 Took me an hour To pick these jeans Changed my shoes About three times Put on that little top I bought last year Still had the tags Hanging inside My friend pulled up With the music loud Talking ’bout “You better come outside” I almost said “Maybe next time” Then I looked In the mirror… And changed my mind Pre-Chorus Funny how You don’t notice You’ve been hiding Till the sunlight Hits your face I’ve been waiting To feel ready Maybe ready Ain’t a feeling Maybe sometimes You just go anyway Chorus I’m outside again Windows down Let the whole world in I’m outside again Ain’t checking my phone Ain’t wondering where you been I’m outside again Looking like somebody I remember Funny I was waiting on closure Whole time I just needed December To turn into summer I’m outside again Verse 2 We found a table By the window Ordered something I can’t pronounce Took too many pictures Of the food Then laughed When nobody ate it Somebody said “Girl, you look happy” And I almost Corrected them Like happiness Had to be something Bigger than this Then I saw That picture of me Laughing Head back Eyes closed Haven’t seen That smile In a minute Didn’t even know I missed her There she goes Pre-Chorus Maybe healing Ain’t dramatic Maybe nobody Claps when it arrives Maybe one day You stop surviving Long enough To realize You’re having A good time Chorus I’m outside again Windows down Let the whole world in I’m outside again Ain’t checking my phone Ain’t wondering where you been I’m outside again Looking like somebody I remember Funny I was waiting on closure Whole time I just needed December To turn into summer I’m outside again Bridge I thought moving on Would feel like Forgetting Like I’d wake up And nothing Would hurt anymore But maybe It looks like this Lip gloss In a tiny bag My favorite song Coming on At the red light My girls yelling “Turn it up” And me realizing… I went all day Without thinking About what broke me Not because I tried not to I was just… Busy living Final Chorus I’m outside again Windows down Let the whole world in I’m outside again Phone somewhere At the bottom of my bag I’m outside again And that girl I thought I lost forever She ain’t gone She just needed A little time To remember How the sun feels On her skin How good she looks When she grins How life keeps going Even after Something ends I’m outside again And this time… I think I’m staying out Outro Wait… Take another picture. No, no— The one where I was laughing. Yeah… Send me that one. I like her.
