[Verse 1]
I saw you in the back of my show last night
Standing underneath the exit sign
I know it wasn't really you though
'Cause you were always in the front row
And I've been looking for love online
And maybe some of them are real good guys
They're never gonna be like you though
You set the bar above the moon so
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be twenty-something
And still in my head about
Seventeen in my bedroom talking
You said that by now
We'd paint the walls of our shared apartment
You're still everything I want and
I think we could work it out
So what are you doin' now?
[Verse 2]
Now that you finally got the job you like
I'm making money off the songs I write
I know you said that I could call you
I wonder if you wanna call too
Now that the future doesn't feel so far
It doesn't seem as wrong to want what's ours
And after everything that's happened
I wanna put it in the past tense
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be twenty-something
And still in my head about
Seventeen in my bedroom talking
You said that by now
We'd paint the walls of our shared apartment
You're still everything I want and
I think we could work it out
So what are you doin' now?
[Bridge]
Are you with somebody?
Should I even care?
Know you're not as happy
As when I was there
In your faded t-shirt
That I've kept this long
I still hear you laughing
When I put it on, I know
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be twenty-something
And still in my head about
Seventeen in my bedroom talking
You said that by now
We'd paint the walls of our shared apartment
You're still everything I want and
I think we could work it out
So what are you doin' now?
WYD Now? was written by Grace Enger & David Alexander & Sadie Jean.
WYD Now? was produced by Cameron Hale.
Sadie Jean released WYD Now? on Fri Dec 10 2021.
I was just so emotional about this breakup that happened like six, seven months [ago]. I was still so sad about it and [Enger and Alexander] knew everything about it because we had written so many songs about it. We just started writing and it became a song about wanting to reach back out.
