Who Am I?
SoMo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to
Drop, drop, drop in your talk, talk, talk, talking that song
What is so, what is so wrong
What is so, what is so
Wrong
Yeah you know where we could go
Then you open up, will you open up
Would you open up with your soul
Or will you put it down in a hole
Let it rot down to the core
You're gonna settle down instead of round and round
Do you know, know, know, know, know, so
Pour out what you like
Don't leave it tangled up inside
Slow down what you're takin'
Find out what's inside
Think I've grown a little jaded
Think I'm runnin' out of time
Thinkin' that I should've waited
Who am I to
Who am I to
Who am I to judge
Who am I to trust
Who am I to lean on you and use you as a crutch
What have I been jaded for me
What if I've I been rushed
What if I mess up
What if I just jump, jump
Thinkin' of the way you told me
I remember when you hold me
Thinkin' of when I was doing so well
Foldin' anytime I see these moments
I remember when you told me
Thinkin' of when I was doing so
Pour out what you like
Don't leave it tangled up inside
Slow down what you're takin'
Find out what's inside
Think I've grown a little jaded
Think I'm runnin' out of time
Thinkin' that I should've waited
Thinkin' that I should've tried
It's who you are when you come down
Who you are in real life
Maybe I should've waited
Maybe I should've tried
Think I've grown a little jaded
Think I'm runnin' out of time
Thinkin' that I should've waited
Who am I to
Who am I to
Who am I to judge
Who am I to trust
Who am I to lean on you and use you as a crutch
What have I been jaded for me
What if I've been rushed
What if I mess up
What if I just jump, jump (Jump, jump)
Thinkin' of the way you told me (Jump, jump)
I remember when you hold me (Jump, jump)
Thinkin' of when I was doing so well
Foldin' anytime I see these moments (Jump, jump)
I remember when you told me
Thinkin' of when I was doing so
Pour out what you like
Don't leave it tangled up inside
Slow down what you're takin'
Find out what's inside
Think I've grown a little jaded
Think I'm runnin' out of time
Thinkin' that I should've waited
Thinkin' that I should've tried
It's who you are when you come down
Who you are in real life
Maybe I should've waited
Maybe I should've tried
Think I've grown a little jaded
Think I'm runnin' out of time
Thinkin' that I should've waited
Who am I to
