Lyrics
Scraped up knees and messy hair
Reflecting on physical challenges and disheveled appearance.
Worried about the clothes you wear
Concerns about outward appearance and societal expectations.
You give into voices
Yielding to external influences or pressures.
and lose part of yourself
Experiencing a loss of identity due to external influences.
Mom's butterfly kisses, and dandelion wishes
Nostalgia for maternal affection and innocent desires.
Dreaming up fantasies of glitter and romance and taking a chance
Imagining idealized scenarios involving sparkle, love, and risk.
Let go of the doubt
Encouragement to overcome self-doubt.
Take a chance and you'll figure it out
Advising to take risks and navigate challenges.
There will be better days for now just ride the waves
Promising better times ahead while enduring current difficulties.
High top shoes your favorite dress
Describing personal style and preferences.
Pretending you like to smoke cigarettes
Engaging in pretense, possibly to fit in or rebel.
You give into voices
Repeating the theme of yielding to external influences.
and lose part of yourself
Emphasizing the negative impact of external pressures on self.
Smokin' down by the river
Depicting a scene of rebellious behavior near a river.
Tryin cheap wine and liquor
Experimenting with inexpensive alcohol and its consequences.
Dreamin' up fantasies of who you will be once you start to break free
Imagining a liberated future self when breaking free from constraints.
Let go of the doubt
Encouraging the release of self-doubt.
Take a chance and you'll figure it out
Encouraging risk-taking with confidence in finding solutions.
There will be better days for now just ride the waves
Reiterating the promise of brighter days amid current challenges.
Believe me I've been down your path before (down your path before)
Sharing personal experience and empathy with the listener.
Turn their heads while you keep on knocking down every door
Encouraging persistence despite facing opposition.
Your river is flowin' like fountains
Using the metaphor of a flowing river to describe personal experiences.
Am I floating'?
Pondering whether the current state is uplifting or overwhelming.
Am I drownin'?
Expressing uncertainty about one's emotional state.
Moving on to discover
Transitioning to a phase of exploration and self-discovery.
When you start to uncover
Highlighting the uncovering of one's true self.
Who you can really be when you look in the mirror and you love who you see
Promoting self-love and acceptance through self-reflection.
You'll push through the sorrow even though it will be there tomorrow
Encouraging resilience in the face of impending challenges.
There will be better days for now just ride the waves
Reiterating the promise of better days while navigating difficulties.
There will be better days for now just ride the waves
Final encouragement to endure challenges and embrace the journey.
