some things (i’ve learned)

[Verse 1: Judah Mayowa]

I wanted a party

End of the summer

Something exciting

Something I'd remember

I wanted a memory

A movie scene ending

Cop cars in the driveway

But I keep forgetting

[Chorus: Judah Mayowa]

Some things end quiet

Some things end soft

I don't need to scream it

To prove I said it at all

[Post-Chorus: Judah Mayowa, Maya Rae, & Cinya Khan]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: Cinya Khan]

I wanted a ball gown

A bouquet of roses

Somebody who loves me

And wants me to know it

I wanted excessive, non-stop affection

So there isn't a moment of doubting connections

[Chorus: Cinya Khan with Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae]

But some things need breathers

And some people need space

But I thought when you asked for alone time

You meant I was something you hate

But I can't control everything

[Verse 3: Maya Rae]

Everything changes

And it doesn't matter

How I feel about it

And that makes me sadder

I wish I had impact

On all my surroundings

Like if God knew I'd cry

Then he'd change plans around me

[Chorus: Maya Rae with Judah Mayowa & Cinya Khan]

But some things are broken

That don't need my help

If I'm gonna repair anything

Then it sure as hell should be myself

[Post-Chorus: Judah Mayowa, Maya Rae, & Cinya Khan]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
