Somebody's First Thought

Verse 1

I scroll through pictures of a life I never had

Someone's arm around a shoulder that stays warm

I practiced conversations in the mirror

Said the softest things out loud to empty air

Pre-Chorus

And I know I'm not the easiest to hold

I flinch before the reaching even starts

But I've been folding all my sharpest edges in

Hoping someone finds the tender part

Chorus

I want to be somebody's first thought

I want to be the reason that they call

Not a maybe not a backup not a plan

Just a person that they choose above it all

I want to be wanted

God I want to be wanted

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Is that too much to ask

Oh-oh oh-oh

Is anyone listening

Verse 2

My friends keep saying love will find you when it's time

But time and I have never really been that close

I built a home inside a room that no one enters

And I keep the porch light on just in case

Pre-Chorus

I don't need a savior or a speech

I need a hand that doesn't let me fall

I've been quiet for so long it tastes like rust

Can somebody hear me through the wall

Chorus

I want to be somebody's first thought

I want to be the reason that they call

Not a maybe not a backup not a plan

Just a person that they choose above it all

I want to be wanted

God I want to be wanted

Bridge

Maybe I'm the problem maybe I'm too much

Maybe I'm a door that no one thinks to knock

Maybe I'm a stranger in my own reflection

Wondering if love forgot my name

Chorus

I want to be somebody's first thought

I want to be the reason that they call

Not a maybe not a backup not a plan

Just a person that they choose above it all

I want to be wanted

God I want to be wanted

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Is that too much to ask

Oh-oh oh-oh

Please somebody answer back
