Gotta Give It Up

I'm an introverted extrovert
I stay inside, get my feelings hurt
I'm watching all these stories, other people hanging out
Convincing myself I ain't really missing out
I'm 17, ain't never got a birthday post
No memories on snap, no tagging others in a post
When high school's over, I'mma be all alone
So I know I'll never make it on my own

So I gotta give it up
Get out of my head, get out of my bed
Ask somebody if they up
At 3 AM instead of wishing I was dead
'Cause I done had enough
Get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
While your friends are staying up
Go get out of your house, start trying to hang out

I never fit the definition of a normal teen
Never hung out on the weekends, not normally
When I did, it felt like hanging out with family
They was mostly just my cousins from my family tree
But now they're going off to college, and so are all my friends
Paying out-of-state tuition, getting married, having kids
I know there's others left and if I want life to improve
I know I gotta go and make a move

So I gotta give it up
Get out of my head, get out of my bed
Ask somebody if they up
At 3 AM instead of wishing I was dead
'Cause I done had enough
Get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
While your friends are staying up
Go get out of the house, start trying to hang out

We be shopping and drinking smoothies and hopping movie to movie
Pretending like we are groupies, blare music we think is groovy
Night climbing around a playground,
play fighting while riding greyhound
Way-finding train tracks to lay
down, highlighting the time we made out
And trying to build a fire and calling each other liars
And rolling down hills in tires, prank calling numbers on flyers
And falling asleep on shoulders, swap hoodies as it gets colder
And wishing we won't grow older 'cause tonight

I just gotta give it up
Get out of my head, get out of my bed
Ask somebody if they up
At 3 AM instead of wishing I was dead
'Cause I done had enough
Get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
While your friends are staying up
Go get out of the house, start trying to hang out

I gotta give it up
Get out of my head, get out of my bed
Ask somebody if they up
At 3 AM instead of wishing I was dead
'Cause I done had enough
Get rid of all the doubt, don't stay at home and pout
