Still Learning

(mhm-mmm) I’m fourteen and the world’s getting loud

Everybody’s figuring it out

They’ve got plans and they’ve got it all mapped

While I’m just trying to stay on the track

Some days I feel like I’m falling behind

Like I left half my life

somewhere behind

One foot in the kid’s world,

one in the grown-up stuff

They say it gets easier

— I’m calling bluff

I see them shining,

I see them grow

I feel like I’m moving way too slow

They say these are the best years of my life But

some days I just feel like I’m behind

Missing pieces, missing time

Trying to find my own rhythm,

trying to find my mind Yeah

I’m

fourteen

and I’m

still learning

And it’s okay if I’m not yet shining

Still like musicals and staying up late

But they talk of futures and choosing their fate

I nod and I smile but I don’t understand

How they know who they want to be when they land

Got all these feelings I can’t even name Like I’m missing pieces

of the game Everyone’s running,

I’m standing still

Wondering just what I’m supposed to feel (supposed to feel...)

They say these are the best years of my life But

some days I

just feel like I’m behind

Missing pieces, missing time

Trying to find my own rhythm,

trying to find my mind

Yeah I’m

fourteen

and I’m still learning

And it’s okay if I’m not yet shining

I haven’t lived yet but I feel I’ve lost

Moments I can’t get back,

whatever the cost (anyway...)
