[Verse 1]
I was looking for another love and
You were looking for a better drug and
We were working on our younger selves
And each other
I was a smoker for a couple months
I knew not to kiss you unless we were drunk
I think I must've been eight different girls
That summer

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying, lately I'm trying
Tryna' be adult, tryna' stop lying
Laying the facts out and I'm finding
That it all leads back to you

[Chorus]
He is a cake walk
He is an open face
All your successors are better in measures
But you are thе template
And I'm not a kid now
If you saw me, you'd say that I'vе changed
But if anyone asks why I'm stuck in the past
Holding on to a dead weight
Well you are, you are
You are the template
[Verse 2]
Boy, I'm always running down the halls
Why it makes me anxious if you care at all
I don't know the signs to a healthy colour
You show me
These things happen on a different wave
I've been tryna' functionally communicate
I met this guy, I think he's pretty great
He says it's pretty great just to know me

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying, lately I'm trying
Tryna' be adult, tryna' stop lying
Laying the facts out and I'm finding
That it all leads back to you

[Chorus]
He is a cake walk
He is an open face
All your successors are better in measures
But you are the template
And I'm not a kid now
If you saw me, you'd say that I've changed
But if anyone asks why I'm stuck in the past
Holding on to a dead weight
Well you are, you are
You are the template
[Outro]
He is a cake walk
And he is an empty page
All your successors are better in measures
But you were the template
And I'm not a kid now
I'm trying my worst to change
So I'm putting my foot down
I'm not looking for you now
I'm clearing a new space
Falling for a new face
And you're just the, you're just the
You're just the, you're just the
You're not the, you're not the
You're not the template
