Junebug

Hey… You still up? Yeah… me too. Streetlight buzzing like it knows my name, Summer stuck in a paper plane. Phone lights up, then it fades back out, I type too much, then I think it out. You say, “Don’t overthink it, babe,” But my brain don’t work that way. I laugh it off, but I still feel dumb, Spinning circles like a little junebug. I keep knocking on the glass, Just to see if it’ll crack. I don’t mean to fall so fast— I just don’t know how to land. Call me Junebug, Dancing ‘round your porch light love. If I crash, if I burn, At least I got close enough. I don’t need a miracle, Just a reason you don’t run. Call me Junebug, I’m brave when I’m stupidly young. (Yeah) Spin, spin, spinning in your glow. (Hey) If I fall, don’t say I didn’t know. (Ooh) Junebug… (Ooh) Don’t shut the light off slow. I say it cool like I don’t care, But I check my phone when you’re not there. I play it tough, I play it loud, But quiet’s where the truth comes out. Everybody says, “Don’t catch feelings,” But nobody says how you don’t. I kiss the risk like it’s nothing, Then panic when I’m alone. If I’m dumb, let me be, If I’m wrong, let me see. I’d rather feel it all tonight Than be safe and incomplete. Call me Junebug, Dancing ‘round your porch light love. If I crash, if I burn, At least I got close enough. I don’t need a miracle, Just a reason you don’t run. Call me Junebug, I’m brave when I’m stupidly young. Maybe I fall ‘cause I want to be seen, Not just perfect, not just clean. If you look past the shine and the noise, Would you still hear my voice? I don’t need you to save me, Just don’t laugh when I try. If the light’s a lie, let it be— I’d still fly just to feel alive. Call me Junebug, Dancing ‘round your porch light love. If I crash, if I burn, At least I was close enough. I don’t need forever now, Just this moment, just this hum. Call me Junebug, I’m brave when I’m stupidly young. (Ooh) I know I might get hurt. (Ooh) I know it’s gonna sting. (Ooh) But I’d rather feel something… Than be scared of everything.
