Tenth Grade Truths

Intro

Oh oh

Mmm

Oh oh

Chorus

Building up my better self

Leaving yours up on the shelf

No more asking for your time

Peace is finally truly mine

Peace is finally truly mine

Verse 1

Recess games

Picket fence plans on the lawn

Sixth grade sweethearts til the dusk was gone

But the halls of high school felt so cold and gray

Pre-Chorus

I was watching you

I was missing you

Then I was over you

I stopped chasing a ghost in a crowd

Chorus

Building up my better self

Leaving yours up on the shelf

No more asking for your time

Peace is finally truly mine

Peace is finally truly mine

Verse 2

Books over boys

Calculus instead of cries

Aced the exam with the fire in my eyes

Thousand days of learning how to stand alone

Pre-Chorus

I was watching you

I was missing you

Then I was over you

I stopped chasing a ghost in a crowd

Bridge

No more games

No more confusion

No more waiting

I need honesty

I need respect

I need loyalty

Higher ground is where I'm living now

Chorus

Building up my better self

Leaving yours up on the shelf

No more asking for your time

Peace is finally truly mine

Peace is finally truly mine

Post-Chorus

Wait for the real thing

Wait for the real thing

Oh oh mmm

Wait for the real thing
