Emma Hamel - Twenty

Today I turn twenty
And that feels scary
Even though I know it's not
It just came sooner than I thought

Today I turn twenty
I'll treat her gently
As I try to make some sense
As I wish myself content

I've kissed pretty people, I've met beautiful souls
I'm lucky that my first 20 years were in places that felt like home
And there's so much I don't know, and I'm still learning that's okay
I'm learning not to worry knowing nothing stays the same

My headspace feels lighter
The noise quiets down
Horizons feel wider
The more that I've found

I don't need the answers
Don't spoil the ending
Lost count of the chapters
I'm still comprehending

It's bitter and sweet
We finally meet
Feels funny to say
I'm twenty today

I reminisce my versions
So determined
Trying to memorize my lines
Hoping everything goes right

But over introspection
Kills perspective
So I try to take a breath
Where I should be is where I am

Cause I've collected stories, simple moments I adore
Though nostalgia stings a little I'm not bitter anymore
Now I listen to my body and I tell her she's enough
Feels lovely just to sit here now that I'm not in a rush

My headspace feels lighter
The noise quiets down
Horizons feel wider
The more that I've found

i don't need the answers
Don't know all the questions
Whatever comes after
Whatever direction

It's bitter and sweet
We finally meet
I'm twenty today
So take it away

A woman at the bus stop told me she misses being young
I'll admit that made my heart drop
Somebody's telling me again that I'm living in my best years
But I don't trust everything I hear

Nothing stays the same
So I hope I live a life I'll miss one day
Nothing stays the same
But I won't be bitter with the way things change

Nothing stays the same
So I hope I live a life I'll miss one day
Nothing stays the same
But I won't be bitter with the way things change

My headspace feels lighter
The noise quiets down
Horizons feel wider
The more that I've found

I don't need the answers
Don't spoil the ending
Lost count of the chapters
I'm still comprehending

It's bitter and sweet
We finally meet
Feels funny to say
I'm twenty today
