In
Riverdale Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day I just pray
Every move I make is right
Where I go, who I know

Will I be alone on Saturday night

And I worry
What if I stand out one bit
I worry
What can I possibly do
To fit in

Perfect clothes, nose (am I, am I, am I, am I, am I)
The perfect skin, face
All ace

Both my folks total jokes
All they do is chew my ass
Blah blah blah blah
They should just be glad I make it to class

I don't worry
If I blow my SATs
I worry
What can I possibly do

To squeeze in, pow
Why not now
When will I belong
Look where I am, damn
My whole life feels wrong

What if I do, snap
Holy crap
I'd crawl out of my skin
And so would you

'Cause life just doesn't begin
Until you're in

God, it's rough, staying tough
Wondering what the world will say
Make a plan, be a man
All this frickin' crap just gets in the way

I go crazy
Nobody cares what it does to me

And it's crazy
I would go out of my mind

To be in it, in is it
What comes close to that
Until you've been in
You ain't where it's at
'Cause' when you're out, well
Life is hell
You can never win
There's no doubt that
Life just doesn't begin
Until you're

And someday
If I don't stand out one bit
Oh someday
I may be normal enough
To fit in
'Cause life just doesn't begin
Doesn't begin (doesn't begin)




Doesn't begin (doesn't begin)
Until you're in
