I'm finally the girl at the party not staring at her phone 'Cause I'm finally the kid at the river without a t-shirt on I'm done being too afraid to leave the house at all

I’ll go swimming at the river wearing nothing at all I'll talk to anyone I think looks cool at all Playing her guitar in the corner or staring at her phone No one talks to the girl at the party sitting all alone I just can't believe anyone would wanna be with me I just can't believe anyone would wanna talk to me No one wants to be the kid who's afraid to go outside I don't wanna be the girl with a tan face and pale arms I lie and say “I'm too busy to hang out today.” So I’m not afraid of that box in my bedroomĮven though every time I try to tell you the truth Some days we’re strong and others we’re scaredĪnd others we promised ourselves we’d be strongĪnd it’s kind of refreshing to be so acceptedĪt least that is what I’m telling myself in the morning You don’t have to give up your cave if the sun’s still too bright I’m coming out slowly with mammoth explosions Of the way the your skin will react to the light of the sun The dark is a great place to start when you're scared I’d sit and play games and my body would change They say lingerie as a present is selfish ‘Cause I'm getting ads for Victoria’s Secret They no more than my closest friends and family

They try to show you what you're likely to buy Or at the edge of the cliff before you take the plungeĪ little bit hopeful, a little bit scared It's the feeling you get when you've got a crush Pack your Jansport bag full of books and snacks I'm not saying everyone should run away from homeīut if you stay cause you feel there's nowhere to go My friend Kate had to move back in with her dad I’m scared their drug-induced apathy won't last forever In relationships or the towns where they grew up
