A Better When by Jordan Bocker
published on
Short acoustic song I decided to write on a whim.
May or may not add more to it, like drums and whatever.
Lyrics:
i wasn't gonna' be the valedictorian
and i wasn't gonna' be most likely to succeed
i never thought i'd be the best,
but never put it to the test
cuz i wasn't gonna' be the failure that is me
looking back right now
i'd tell my younger self
i still don't have an answer
i've been running 'round the bend
keeping my eyes closed, i figured
there'd be a better when
where i'd realize why i am who i am
instead i'm back where i started
i'm never gonna' be an alpha prodigy
and i'm never gonna' care for infinitesimal things
i wasn't ever quite so sure
what all of it was for
, but i'm never gonna' think twice about what it would bring
looking forward now
i tell my older self
i hope you've got an answer
i've been running 'round the bend
keeping my eyes closed, i figured
there'd be a better when
where i'd realize why i am who i am
instead i'm back where i started
