Lyrics

Betty

Seven long years in another life
We were students goin' thorugh it
Learnin' how to hide
I kinda felt weird

About myself back then
It's tough in Texas
When you're hopeless
Helpless, different

You said, "Let's start over
In our favorite clothing"
A new kind of knowing
For good

Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, Betty
I'm so glad you found me
Now we're old and now we're ready
Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, let's be
Who we we're already

I'm a tomboy
And you're a retro girl
Walking 'round our northern town
Making sense of the world

I said, "Sorry
If I was ever cringe"
Well, you just laughed, "It's in the past
Don't worry about it!"

You said, "Let's start over
In our favorite clothing"
A new kind of knowing
For good

Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, Betty
I'm so glad you found me
Now we're old and now we're ready
Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, let's be
Who we were already

Betty's like a beacon
Betty's like a breath I let escape
(Nice to meet you)
Betty's the whole reason
Betty's gotta be my favorite name
(Nice to meet you)

Betty all the time
Betty all the time
Look me in the eye
Look me in the eye
Teach me how to try
Teach me how to try
Can you show me what it's like?

Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, Betty
I'm so glad you found me
Now we're old and now we're ready
Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, let's be
Who we were already

Let's be who we were already
