Library Card

[00:22.30] At the tender age of seven
[00:24.18] I begged my parents to buy
[00:26.59] Me my own library card
[00:29.54] I wanted books that'd keep me up all night
[00:32.42] And they became my kryptonite
[00:34.14] Instead of people, 'cause talking was hard
[00:37.70] I'd bring my books with me to lunch
[00:39.62] So that I didn't have to run
[00:41.99] 'Cause the pages built a temporary shield
[00:45.94] From the forces that rejected me
[00:48.10] Those who'd never protected me
[00:49.94] And for a while it all just seemed so real
[00:53.50] Yeah, things were great things were fine
[00:58.14] But the magic had to run out sometime
[01:04.10] So here I am at twenty-one
[01:06.02] My life has finally begun
[01:08.23] I can't seem to find my
[01:10.11] Way to the next chapter
[01:12.14] I'll accept these parts of me
[01:14.11] Paper cuts along these jagged sheets
[01:16.54] With no happily ever after now
[01:26.22] (Ever after now)
[01:28.34] So when the time came up for
[01:32.42] Me to finally fall in love
[01:34.22] I set my expectations way too high
[01:38.02] It turns out I was no protagonist
[01:40.06] Boys weren't a fan of this
[01:42.19] And so I slowly learned that I should hide
[01:45.51] From the reality consuming me
[01:50.26] That I'd never be like the
[01:52.06] Girls that they'd write
[01:54.14] So here I am at twenty-one
[01:56.06] Life has finally begun
[01:58.14] I can't seem to find my
[01:59.94] Way to the next chapter
[02:02.14] I'll accept this part of me
[02:04.14] Phoning in the hope of fantasy
[02:06.82] With no happily ever after now (Now)
[02:18.38] Happy endings overrated
[02:20.14] I'm more used to getting hurt
[02:22.06] Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
[02:24.18] My own little universe
[02:26.19] Happy endings overrated
[02:28.11] I'm more used to getting hurt
[02:29.98] Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
[02:32.11] My own little universe
[02:34.23] The dreams are gone, the wishes faded
[02:36.14] I knew this could never work
[02:38.06] Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
[02:40.11] My own little universe
[02:42.22] The dreams are gone, the wishes faded
[02:44.18] I knew this could never work
[02:46.14] Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
[02:48.14] My own little universe
[02:50.06] So here I am at twenty-one
[02:51.99] Life has finally begun
[02:54.06] Then why do I still feel
[02:56.46] Like such a damn disaster
[02:58.10] I'll accept this part of me
[03:00.11] Poorly adapted literary freak
[03:02.43] With no happily ever after now (Now, n now)
[03:11.38] No ever after now (N now)
[03:15.62] No ever after now (N now)
[03:19.70] I don't even know what the book's about
[03:23.86]
