“8am” is the first song in Lauren Cimorelli’s mixtape, “17”.
This is the first song I ever fully wrote and recorded. I wrote it when I was 16 about the first time I got ghosted by a boy I spent the whole summer talking to. I had just turned 15 when we stopped talking and it took me almost 2 years t...
[Verse 1]
It's not even 8 AM
But I'm already breaking
Sittin' here on the beach with my car keys
Maybe I'll go get some coffee
No, I forgot to bring money
How is it I can forget my wallet
But I still can't forget you?
They say that time can heal, but it's been almost two years
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I, I know it's just ridiculous
To think that things could change
[Chorus 1]
And I just wanna find someone new
But I don't know how to
No, I don't know how to
And I hate being so powerless to you
But I can't help it when I'm around you
No, I can't help it when I'm around you
[Verse 2]
And you're gonna go to school in Santa Barbara
But I'll still be here in Malibu
And you'll probably find yourself a new girl there
‘Cause who wouldn't fall in love with you?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I, I know that it's just stupid
To think that things could changе
[Chorus 2]
And I just wanna find something new
But I don't know wherе to
No, I don't know where to
And I hate feeling like there's nothing I can do
'Cause you know that I miss you
And I just wanna see you
[Bridge]
I don't wanna go back to my house
I wanna go to yours
I wanna knock on your door
And maybe you'll see something in me that you didn't see before
Tell me, do I still cross your mind?
Do you think I'm worth the time?
Did you feel alone when you let me go?
Do you even know that you're breaking my heart?
Oh, you're breaking my heart
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I just wanted to be wanted
Is that so bad?
[Chorus 3]
And I just wanna find someone new
But I don't know how to
No, I don't know how to
And I hate feeling like there's nothing I can do
I just wanna see you
Is it too much to ask to just see you?
[Outro]
Oh, and I know it's stupid of me to reminisce
But you know that you can never really forget me
But it's too late now
You've moved on now
It's over now
And I know it's stupid of me to reminisce
But you know that you can never really forget me
But it's too late now
You've moved on now
It's over now
