Love It 'Til It Gets Old

We want to feel special but now we all look the same
And all that we see on our scrolls gets in our heads
Love it 'til it gets old

My clothes all have holes and the stains won't come out
But it's alright if it's vintage
And I'm blanking my past on the street
Cause I'm a 'brand new me'
Love it 'til it gets old
Love it 'til it gets old

You'll be my step on my journey up
I'll climb higher than any funky monkey
Tell me I'm beautiful and I will
Love you until you turn your back
Love it 'til it gets old
Love it 'til it gets old

Obscurity is what frightens me so I scramble to make a scene
It's probably wrong but I don't really care
Voices in my head keep me from sleep
They'll love me 'til I get old
They'll love me 'til I get old

You'll be my step on my journey up
I'll climb higher than any funky monkey
Oh my god, I just love this song
But I didn't make it past the first verse
Love it 'til it gets old
Love it 'til it gets old

I used to be special, but now I'm just underpaid
And the legacy I've left is that strangers don't recall my name
I promised myself once I won't give into these ways
But my word is failing fast, I can't keep up this charade

Sow in me the seeds of doubt and I will
Grow taller, grander, more fragile
And when the cracks start showing up
That's when I'll start again
A cycle of aspirations leave me
Left with nothing to call my own
And after all this time and effort
Will they love me when I get old?

We want to feel special but now we all look the same
We want to feel special but now we all look the same
Love it 'til it gets old
