When It Gets Late

Can I say it? For the record now?
Before I crash, I want you to know
When it gets late, I want you to know
(I just have trouble saying it)

I'm worried about, like does any of this matter now?
Getting older, feeling smaller
Thought I'd figure it out, but it took me so long
Was I always just a little too late?
When I feel alone, look for your green light flicker on
Like I'm worried you might fade away
Yeah I'm worried you might fade away

And if I told you the reason why I walk these circles all the time
I'm afraid I'd see you cry, for all the things that I still hide
And if I told you the reason why, would we even have the time?
You gave me all that I prize but it came with a price

And if I say it, will you hold it to me?
It's taken so long to write down the words
When it gets late I want you to know

I've been dreaming about planes coming down
Still the same girl I always was
When I scroll down, I see everyone's talking
Too much noise I can't hear what they're saying
Everyone's got a dream
Why's it only some seem to matter when the curtain comes down?
When I feel alone, look for your green light flicker on
Like I'm worried you might (fade)
Don't wanna lie here forever, wanna be more
Wanna me be more than this

And if I told you the reason why I walk these circles all the time
Try to understand the world, a voice says I'm just a girl
But I feel like I wanna try, yeah I feel like I wanna try
You gave me all that I prize but it came with a price

(That I can hide, that I can hide)
(So I keep on scrolling down, down, down)
(So I keep on scrolling down, down, down)
