Headstart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They say I act around you
Different than I usually do
They say that I've even
Given special treatment
I'd deny it but I can't
What you don't seem to understand
Is I won't just take your hand
I've left signs but you take no notice
[Chorus]
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
I've given you a headstart
I know us girls aren't easy
But come on
What do you need to see?
I've given you a headstart
[Verse 2]
I've more pride than many
This is kind of rare for me
Everyone knows that it's true
You're the only one in the room
But you don't see me, do you?
Must be blind how not to
That's alright I'll keep on
Putting myself on the line
[Chorus]
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
I've given you a headstart
I know us girls aren't easy
But come on
What do you need to see?
I've given you a headstart
[Bridge]
Is there a way to get your attention
Without looking like a fool?
Should I slip in in our conversations?
By the way, I love you
[Chorus]
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
I've given you a headstart
I know us girls aren't easy
But come on
What do you need to see?
I've given you a headstart

What did Jade Bird say about "Headstart"?
‘Headstart’ came out of a trip I made to upstate New York at the beginning of the year. It’s quite a light-hearted song, about liking someone who just can’t see the signs, and releasing it feels like a way to give a bit of joy to the end of the year. It feels like community to me, and it makes me wa...
What else have the artists said about the song?
“Headstart” is very flippant. And that’s why I chose to release it first. When I sat in the writer’s chair and I was like, ‘Oh, fuck it, let’s see what happens,’ and ‘Headstart’ came out, I was like, ‘Ah, she’s back.’ The concept is quite simple: It’s about how the guy can’t see you, and they’re not...
