it was coming all along

Maggie Rogers

Everybody s going crazy
See em walking down the street
And I feel like a deer in headlights
When I turn on the TV
And I keep wandering round my living room
Just wondering how we re gonna survive

See the light stream in the window
Call my mother on the phone
Said there s talkin in the kitchen
Of selling my childhood home
And everywhere I look around
It seems we re always saying goodbye

And I don t know just what to do

I m fine, but feel I m breaking through
No walls of honey shade of blue
I m crying, wish I wasn t hanging on
But it was coming all along
It was coming all along

Know I might sound existential
This is the first time that we meet
But I swear there s some potential
In the actuality
And I m trying to be brave these days
But, oh, I ve still got Norah on the phone
(Hey, I m calling, hello)
(How are you?)

And she s saying: Hold your temper
Hey there, Maggie, slow your roll
And I know that you still hate him
The way he hurt you back at school
And though it s dark out in the distance
It s looking like there might be a new soul

And I don t know just what to do

I m fine, but feel I m breaking through
No walls of honey shade of blue
I m crying, wish I wasn t hanging on
But I know it won t last for long
So fast, it s fading out of view
I m flying long past twenty-two
So high, can t find the moment it went wrong
But it was coming all along
(I m fine, but feel I m breaking through)
It was coming all along (No walls of honey shade of blue)
It was coming all along (But I know it won t last for long)

It was coming all along
But it was coming all along
