[Verse 1]

I was looking for another love and

You were looking for a better drug and

We were working on our younger selves

And each other

I was a smoker for a couple months

I knew not to kiss you unless we were drunk

I think I must've been eight different girls

That summer

[Pre-Chorus]

Trying, lately I'm trying

Tryna' be adult, tryna' stop lying

Laying the facts out and I'm finding

That it all leads back to you

[Chorus]

He is a cake walk

He is an open face

All your successors are better in measures

But you are thе template

And I'm not a kid now

If you saw me, you'd say that I'vе changed

But if anyone asks why I'm stuck in the past

Holding on to a dead weight

Well you are, you are

You are the template

[Verse 2]

Boy, I'm always running down the halls

Why it makes me anxious if you care at all

I don't know the signs to a healthy colour

You show me

These things happen on a different wave

I've been tryna' functionally communicate

I met this guy, I think he's pretty great

He says it's pretty great just to know me

[Pre-Chorus]

Trying, lately I'm trying

Tryna' be adult, tryna' stop lying

Laying the facts out and I'm finding

That it all leads back to you

[Chorus]

He is a cake walk

He is an open face

All your successors are better in measures

But you are the template

And I'm not a kid now

If you saw me, you'd say that I've changed

But if anyone asks why I'm stuck in the past

Holding on to a dead weight

Well you are, you are

You are the template

[Outro]

He is a cake walk

And he is an empty page

All your successors are better in measures

But you were the template

And I'm not a kid now

I'm trying my worst to change

So I'm putting my foot down

I'm not looking for you now

I'm clearing a new space

Falling for a new face

And you're just the, you're just the

You're just the, you're just the

You're not the, you're not the

You're not the template
