I'm particular I'm expensive, so it were but Nothing of value traces the back of my hand Until your fingers Please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch You're exceptional I've been crushing on you so hard That when you leave me I'm a fucking mess I don't know what to do with my hands And please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch I'm particular Fucking expensive You're exceptional I've been crushing on you so hard That when you leave me I'm a fucking mess I don't know what to do with my hands I'm begging you love me Come and light the flame To guide me through this humble maze I'm particular (particular) I'm expensive so it were (expensive) but Nothing of value traces the back of my hand Until your fingers And please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch

Who I was three years ago would have a crush on me today She'd take secret videos from the back of the house while I'm on stage Ask, "Who did your tattoos?" and, "If you're ever in the mood I'd love to take you out so I could learn a thing or two" Who I am today would think that 21-year-old was sweet I'd indulge her bright-eyed inquiries and wouldn't tell her she's naïve And though she'd think I had it all figured out I'd let her know I'm full of headaches, fear and doubt But I'd say thank you for reminding me what this whole thing's about I guess I've grown a lot and you have showed me how I get caught up in the forward crawl I forget to see the beauty of it all They say just be yourself, but they forget that order's tall I'm still tryna find it But this slightly younger self helps me recall Who I'll be three years from now will have some shit to say to me Relax your furrowed brow, there ain't no reason to worry And if you feel like giving up You gotta remember that you're tough You'll find your power in the tears that line your cheeks Who I am today would ask that older person for some cheats But I'd secretly hope they wouldn't give any to me And in my fantasy they've got it figured out And all their confidence outweighs their minor doubts But I'm wise enough to know that's not what this whole thing's about I got some growing left and you've showed me how I get caught up in the forward crawl I forget to see the beauty of it all They say just be yourself, but they forget that order's tall I may never find it Don't really mind that Cause this scrappy band of all the different versions of myself They never fail To catch me when I fall

She's a beautiful fool With an audience of actual She disregards the rules But they tie her down, no she can't make a sound She's cynically optimistic Unintentionally cryptic She's not free yet, but she wants to be Oh, she's a spirit in disguise She's a goddess With a knack for climbing trees She's a maniac And she'll dance alone in the middle of the street She's radiant but fragile There's a universe behind each smile She's not free yet, but she wants to be Oh, she's a spirit in disguise She's not free yet, but she's yearning to be Oh, she's a spirit in disguise Hmm, Spirit in disguise

In a way, it's all a matter of time I will not worry for you, you'll be just fine Take my thoughts with you and when you look behind You will surely see a face that you recognise You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time for you Open your mind Surely there's time to be with me It is the distance that makes life a little hard Two minds that once were close, now so many miles apart I will not falter though, I'll hold on 'til you're home Safely back where you belong and see how our love has grown You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time for you Open your mind Surely there's time to be with me You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind Surely it's plain to see You're not alone I'll wait 'til the end of time for you Open your mind Surely there's time to be with me You're not alone (you're not alone) I'll wait 'til the end of time Open your mind (open your mind) Baby, there's time to be with me You're not alone (you're not alone) I'll wait 'til the end of time (never alone) Open your mind (open your mind) Surely there's time to be with me You're not alone (you're not alone) I'll wait 'til the end of time with you Open your mind (open your mind) Baby, there's time for me and you
