[Verse 1]
If my mother named me Jane
Wonder if I'd be the same
Would I fit inside this frame?
Take up all my empty space?
If my mother named me Jane
Could I love someone to stay?
Hold on tight without a break
Wish I thought of this in May
[Chorus]
For so long, I told myself we were so wrong
Put us on a shelf, then I searched for
You in someone else and found nothin'
I said I moved on, even I don't believe it
Heard our song playin' loud on the speakers
Tried to be strong, but it just made me weaker in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe you won't love me 'cause I've gone insane
But maybe you would love Jane
[Verse 2]
If my mother named me Jane
I would never show up late
Never need to catch a plane
Never need to run away
[Chorus]
For so long, I told myself we were so wrong
Put us on a shelf, then I searched for
You in someone else and found nothin'
Said I moved on, even I don't believe it
Heard our song playin' loud on the speakers
Tried to be strong, but it just made me weaker in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe you won't love me 'cause I've gone insane
But maybe you—
[Bridge]
My friend said I'm like a glass hammer
I bet Jane wouldn't break under pressure
But when I saw you in November
I told myself I would do better
Better for you
[Chorus]
For so long, I told myself we were so wrong
Put us on a shelf, then I searched for
You in someone else and found nothin'
I said I moved on, even I don't believe it
Heard our song playin' loud on the speakers
Tried to be strong, but it just made me weaker in the end
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe you won't love me 'cause I've gone insane
You know I've gotta grow up, but you don't wanna wait
So find a better version, version of me
'Cause maybe you would love Jane
[Outro]
Very good

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I was born with a different name and I just feel like that version of me would be way better at love and everything, so I wrote a song about it.

I thought the EP was done … I think “Jane” shocked us all.

I had this realization. I have these nights when I reflect on everything bad that I’ve ever done. I guess, they’re kind of regrets in a way ─ regretting to say something to somebody, regretting going out one night with my friends instead of being sad at home or regretting saying how I feel about som...
I wrote this song back in January [of 2021], when I was in a terrible place with myself. Crazy to think how things have changed since then… I’m in the city of my dreams making my debut album, chasing inspiration, and I couldn’t be happier.
