Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah
Been around the block
Even though I'm only 25
Mmmm
I've got
Yeah
But a holy mind
Feeble were the eyes that watched world
But my sunny disposition
Has returned
Fragile mouth with the saddened words
But my past self I've forgiven
And I'm back to earth
See there's nothing that I wouldn't say to you
thanks for the days that are always blue
pure is the mind that belongs to you
I'm just here for the ride
if you'll take me too
See there's nothing that I wouldn't say to you
Thanks for the days that are always blue
Pure is the mind that belongs to you
I'm just here for the ride
If you'll take me too
I've heard it all
Every little thing
Every little moment that I always lied about
Mmm
But you've got
A way to keep me calm
A way to hold my thoughts
A way to help me know that I'll be alright through it all
Helpless were the hands that touched the world
But my sunny disposition
Has returned
Sophia I'd give you everything I've earned
I'd give you everything that you deserved
See there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Thanks for the days that are always blue
Pure is the mind that belongs to you
I'm just here for the ride
If you'll take me too
See there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Thanks for the days that are always blue
Pure is the mind that belongs to you
I'm just here for the ride
If you'll take me too

I've seen it all
Despite my young age, I have experienced a lot
Been around the block
I have traveled and explored different cities and countries
Even though I'm only 25
I am still in my mid-twenties but have gained a lot of experiences
Venom on my tongue
I can be harsh and critical with my words
But a holy mind
Despite my tough exterior, my thoughts are pure and righteous
Feeble were the eyes that watched world
I used to see the world with a weak and powerless perspective
But my sunny disposition
Now I have a more positive attitude towards life
Has returned
After going through a difficult time, I have regained my optimism
Fragile mouth with the saddened words
My words used to be weak and filled with sorrow
But my past self I've forgiven
I have learned to let go of my past and forgive myself for my mistakes
And I'm back to earth
I am now grounded and connected with reality
See there's nothing that I wouldn't say to you

If you'll take me too
If you will allow me to accompany you on your journey
I've heard it all
I have listened to everything people say, even if it is not true
Every little thing
All the small details and rumors that people gossip about
Every little moment that I always lied about
I have been dishonest about small things in the past
But you've got
However, with you
A way to keep me calm
You have a calming effect on me
A way to hold my thoughts
You help me organize and manage my thoughts
A way to help me know that I'll be alright through it all
You reassure me that everything will be okay
Helpless were the hands that touched the world
I used to feel powerless to make a difference in the world
Sophia I'd give you everything I've earned
I would do anything for you and give you everything I have achieved

You deserve the best things in life and I would give them to you
See there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
I would go to great lengths to make you happy and support you
