Young Adult Lyrics

I was the daughter of my father
I was the colour of a half-lit moon
Riding down sunset
Making records at night
There's a calling in my gut
And I have to just follow it

I was a girl in New York City
Collecting stories like I'm saving money
Just hanging on the wall
We didn't care at all
'cause caring meant that we weren't invincible

Where is the line between all this joy and all this sorrow?
Who do you know?
It helps you get from here to there to tomorrow
What do I know? What do I know?
I know that I want to see where this thing will go

Let's resurrect the biggest feeling
Like getting hit with something strong and hot
With our wine-stained teeth
And some dirty little habits
I would never change a thing
Just the way I got out of bed
Where is the line between all this joy and all this sorrow?
Who do you know?
It helps you get from here to there to tomorrow
What do I know? What do I know?
I know that I want to see where this thing will go

And then I landed like I was dreaming
Came back into
I started beating
With a headstrong body and a soft soft voice
And you never tried to change it you just
Wanted who I was

Where is the line between all this joy and all this sorrow?
Who do you know?
It helps you get from here to there to tomorrow
What do I know? What do I know?
I know that I want to see where this thing will…
Go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
