Lyrics
I'm not really scared
I'm not genuinely afraid
I just like the way that those words sound
I enjoy the aesthetic of certain words
When they fall from my mouth
Expressing words is satisfying to me
And I say them to you out loud
Verbally communicating with you is important
Sometimes my hands clap louder than everyone else
My actions may be more noticeable
But that's the way it stands 'cause I want to clap the loudest
I aim to be the most enthusiastic
But I got so scared that you might be a better me than me
Fear of being surpassed by you
Yeah, I got so scared that you might be a better me than me
Anxiety about you being a better version of me
You can take my socks
Willing to share possessions except gloves
But you damn well better leave my gloves
Gloves are essential for warmth
'Cause I need my hands to be warm like everybody else's
Hands needed to be warm like others
Once my hands are warm, I can give them to you and say
Once warm, willing to give and help
Please do all you can
Requesting maximum effort from you
But my fingerprints will stay the same
Despite help, my uniqueness remains
But I got so scared that you might be a better me than me
Fear of your superiority persists
Yeah, I got so scared that you might be a better me than me
Continued anxiety about being outperformed
We know someone who got scared at the supermarket
Reference to someone else's fear experience
And you were there
Your presence during their fear
And I get to hold their hand
Privilege of comforting them
'Cause they'll get scared again
Expectation of recurring fear
And they'll get scared again
Acknowledgment of the likelihood of repeated fear
But I'm not really scared
Reiteration of not being genuinely afraid
I'm not really scared
-I'm not really scared
-I'm not really scared
-I'm not really scared
-I'm not really scared
-I'm not really scared
Reaffirmation of lack of genuine fear
