Lyrics

Give you my mind

Expressing the willingness to share thoughts and emotions.

And keep my mouth shut It's like your still here

Choosing silence despite the presence of the person in memory.

I'm just a child

Portraying oneself as immature or inexperienced.

And your my idol

Considering someone as a role model.

But I live in fear

Living with anxiety or apprehension.


I guess I made it out of there

Reflecting on successfully leaving a challenging situation.

But only by the skin of my teeth Yer

Escaping a difficult situation narrowly.

Only just

Highlighting the closeness of the escape.

Only just

Reiterating the narrowness of the escape.


I hope I made you proud

Expressing a desire to make the admired person proud.

But I had to find my way out Yer

Acknowledging the necessity of finding one's own path.


If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

Emphasizing the close call in finding a way out.

If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

Repeating the theme of narrowly escaping a challenging situation and hoping for approval despite the difficulties faced.

If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

-

If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

-

Give me praise when I'm in pain then

Desiring recognition and support during difficult times.

It's like your still here Chip on my shoulder it As I grow older

Feeling the continued presence of the admired person, with a growing sense of responsibility as one matures.


I'm still in fear

Persisting fear despite apparent progress.


And I guess I made it out of there

Recalling another successful escape, highlighting the difficulty.

But only by the skin of my teeth Yer

Reiterating a narrow escape by the smallest margin.

Only just

Emphasizing the closeness of the escape once again.

Only just

Repeating the notion of a very close escape.


I hope I made you proud But I had to find my way out Yer

Expressing the hope of making the admired person proud despite the challenges.


If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

Reiterating the theme of narrowly escaping and seeking approval.

If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

-

If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out

If only by the skin of my teeth I found my way out
