Lyrics

[Intro]

Your eyes are open, so never close them

You'll sail the ocean, finding where you should be

And if you're broken, you'll make your own thing

You'll make it so big for all the world to see

You'll make it so damn big for all the world to see

[Verse 1]

I'm kinda scared to drop this album

Let's push it back another week

I wanna be next up forever

Find a way to never hit my peak

I kinda wish I was still a virgin

Dying to finally see what sex is like

I wanna be next up forever

Forever, I'll be second in line

[Chorus]

Someday, they'll be talking about me

Right now, they're just walking around me

My God, are you growing without me?

Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)

Someday, they'll be talking about me

Right now, they're just walking around me

My God, are you growing without me?

Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)

[Verse 2]

This is my imagination

This is how it looks and sounds

But I gotta go so much bigger

So they can never shut me down

I'm kinda scared of graduation

'Cause who am I when this is done?

I wanna be next up forever

So the best is always yet to come

[Chorus]

Someday, they'll be talking about me

Right now, they're just walking around me

My God, are you growing without me?

Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)

Someday, they'll be talking about me

Right now, they're just walking around me

My God, are you growing without me?

Somebody, help me (Somebody, help me)

[Bridge]

I gotta go so much bigger

So everybody's proud of me

Welcome to the Neotheater

Won't everybody take their seats?

And I'll be next up forever

'Cause I don't know what's coming next

I know I gotta grow up sometime

But I don't think I'm ready yet

[Outro]

I know I gotta grow up sometime

But I'm not fucking ready yet

Your eyes are open, so never close them

You'll sail the ocean, finding where you should be

And if you're broken, you'll make your own thing

You'll make it so big for all the world to see

You'll make it so damn big for all the world to see
