On “Made It This Far,” Katelyn Tarver steps back to bask in the glory of where she is at in life. In an overall arching theme, she encourages her listeners to appreciate what they have, not asking for more.

[Verse 1]
The more I get to know myself
The less I understand myself
I don't know how to let go
Of all this weight I put on me
Of who I am or where I'll be
Once I learn to let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Always set my sights on
Diamonds in the future
Remember when you wanted what you got right now
[Chorus 1]
When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone with my mind
I get scared I'm unprepared
And will be for the rest of my life
But I've made it this far
Yeah, I made it this far
[Verse 2]
All my mom wanted was
A house of kids, then we grew up
Now she don't know where she fits
So if I have the same fears
Waiting there in thirty years
Why don't I just live like
[Pre-Chorus]
I've already made it
I'm not what I'm chasin'
Like I don't need nothing more than what I got right now
[Chorus 2]
When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone with my mind
I get scared I'm unprepared
And will be for the rest of my life
But I've made it this far
Yeah, I made it this far
Half way to fallin' apart
But I've made it this far
[Bridge]
Don't trade the best for something better
Please don't forget, no one's here forever
We're not here forever
[Chorus 2]
When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone with my mind
I get scared I'm unprepared
And will be for the rest of my life
But I've made it this far
Yeah, I made it this far
Half way to fallin' apart
But I've made it this far
