| Upstairs in your bedroom
|
| Is where you hide away
|
| With your pen and pencil
|
| That’s how you escape
|
| No matter what they tell you
|
| Just don’t fade away
|
| The pictures that you’re drawing
|
| Will be read someday
|
| She’s tryna protect you
|
| One day he’ll respect you
|
| They just don’t know what to say
|
| But hold on, I know
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hold on a little bit longer
|
| Promise it’s gonna get better
|
| Little do you know
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hold on a little bit longer
|
| I promise it’s gonna get better
|
| Girl, you’re so close
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hiding in the hallways
|
| Kids can be so mean
|
| Everybody’s looking
|
| But you still don’t feel seen
|
| The cheerleaders are cheering
|
| But you can’t wait to leave
|
| You might not have a prom dress
|
| But you’re still the queen
|
| They might not like you
|
| But there’s no one like you
|
| And one day you’ll find your own way
|
| Just hold on, I know
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hold on a little bit longer
|
| Promise it’s gonna get better
|
| Little do you know
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hold on a little bit longer
|
| I promise it’s gonna get better
|
| Girl, you’re so close
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hold on a little bit longer
|
| Promise it’s gonna get better
|
| Little do you know
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner
|
| Hold on a little bit longer
|
| I promise it’s gonna get better
|
| Girl, you’re so close
|
| Twenty two’s around the corner |
