I watch my friends all graduate
They’re getting jobs in different states
I haven’t seen ‘em since the day
I moved out to LA
They did college right after high school
My parents never made that rule
They probably think that I'm not cool
For not doing the same
As the years go by
I wipe the tears and try
Not to let it get me down
'Cause they don’t get it
Just like how
My mom calls me Molly
Even though it’s not my name
No one understands it
But some things you can’t explain
Of all the things to call me
Nothing feels the same
We’ve always done things differently
But I turned out okay, I’d say
I wouldn’t have it any other way
When I was born my mom and dad
We’re dating but it didn’t last
You’d think that it would hurt real bad
When I was growing up
But I never lived in different homes
'Cause through it all they still stayed close
I know it don’t make sense to most
But it made sense to us
As the years go by
It might sound weird but I
Never let it get me down
You might not get it
Just like how
My mom calls me Molly
Even though it’s not my name
No one understands it
But some things you can’t explain
Of all the things to call me
Nothing feels the same
We’ve always done things differently
But I turned out okay, I’d say
I wouldn’t have it any other way
