Take off your jacket, stay a while
Eldest child, you make them smile
Pay the price, it goes a mile
Give me one more chance to smile
Eldest child, eldest child
You got to walk a long road, I know you’re tired
Eldest child, eldest child
I know your momma and your daddy so goddamn proud
They don't know me, no
They don't know me now
They don't know nothin' about me, they don't know me, no
They don't know me, no
They don't know me now
They don't know nothin' about me, they don't know me
Pretty girls and cars, God, I'm sucking my cheeks in
Shimmering mirage, I can see what I wanna be
Pretty girls, no hearts, we can't be what we wanna be
Many dreams, many stars, many broken promises not to keep
Tryna, tryna keep up
Tryna, tryna keep up
Trying not to keep up
It's hard tryna to keep it up
It's hard tryna to keep it up
Tryin' not to keep up—
Take off your jacket and stay a while
Eldest child, you make them smile
Gotta pay that price, it goes a mile
Give me one more chance to smile
Eldest child, eldest child
I know you walk a long road, I know you tired
Eldest child, eldest child
I know you make your mom and daddy so goddamn proud
(Listen)
They don't know me, no
They don't know me now
They don't know nothing about me, they don't know me, no
They don't know me
They don't know me now
They don't know nothing about me, they don't know me now
Yeah
I wish you knew, I wish you knew, I wish you knew
I wish you knew, I wish you knew, I wish you knew
Keep my attention short, I'll think about you way too much
