There's a cap on my bed
And a box by the door
The girl in the hallway Feels smaller than before
Locker door shuts softly Like a summer goodbye
I smile for the photos But I still wanna cry
Everybody says
This is how it goes
One foot out the door While the whole world grows I keep
hearing my name In a future I can't see And I'm scared
of the map If it starts with me I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet
Hold me for a second Before I let go
I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet
I'm still learning Who I'm gonna be (who I'm gonna be)
Dorm room walls bare
Like a page left clean
New Books, new faces New version of me
Mama said, "Baby You don't need it all now"
But I want a reason I can hold somehow
Everybody says You'll find it on the way
But I'm standing here At the edge of day With my name
on a suitcase And my heart in two
Half of me is terrified Half is walking too
Maybe purpose is a slow burn Not a lightning strike
Maybe I grow into myself One small brave night
If I don't have it now
That don't mean I'm lost
I can be a seed And still count the cost
I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet
Hold me for a second Before I let go
I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet
I'm still learning
Who I'm gonna be (who I'm gonna be) I'm not ready yet
But I'm on my way
