Graduate
Navigating Love's Maze: Unveiling the Journey in Nicole Jasperse's 'Graduate'
Lyrics
Scrolling through our messages
Reflecting on past text exchanges
To see if I was interesting enough
Checking if her personality stood out
For him to recall my forgettable name
Wondering if he remembers her name
In a month
Within a month timeframe
I'm sure I made no first impression
Feeling no initial impact made
I'm sure I nearly bored him to death
Fearing she may have been dull
He could get to know me
Hoping for a chance to connect
And I could annoy him instead
Considering the possibility of annoying him
When is it my turn to have
Eager for her own meaningful relationship
Somebody I can call my own
Desiring a genuine connection
Not romanticize someone I don't know
Rejecting romantic idealization of strangers
But memorize someone in real life
Yearning for a genuine connection with someone known
Scrolling through our stalemate conversation
Reviewing a stalled conversation
Dissecting every word that you typed
Analyzing every word for deeper meaning
As if I didn't have
Claiming deep knowledge of the conversation
Every syllable memorized
Having every syllable memorized
When will he grow up and find out
Anticipating maturity to recognize her value
I'm the things he wished he'd had
Being the desired qualities he seeks
With him all along before he
Suggesting a missed connection in the past
Met me two years early
Timing issue: meeting two years early
When will he graduate
Waiting for him to move past ignorance
From turning a blind eye
Hoping for him to overcome obliviousness
Graduate from in my mind's eye
Seeking mental and emotional graduation
Graduate and start a real life
Yearning for a tangible, real-life connection
When will I grow up and learn that
Questioning her own understanding of love
I can't make a person fall
Realizing the inability to control others' emotions
In love just by thinking of them
Recognizing the gap between fantasy and reality
They don't even know me
Acknowledging her own lack of visibility
When will I graduate
Longing for personal growth and maturity
From fantasizing
Moving beyond idealistic daydreams
Graduate to realizing
Transitioning to a more realistic perspective
Graduate and start a real life
Aspiring to establish a genuine, real-life connection
