elementary school - Delaney Bailey

Lyrics by：Delaney Bailey

Composed by：Delaney Bailey

You explode quietly

You keep bad habits for years

You retain it like long division

All the things that they told you to revise

You learn quiet

You learn to please

You're best friends with the teacher

She looks she you with unease

You take notes all the time

Change in tone

And worry they're taking notes too

Reading you like a palindrome

Not sure quite what you did

6 years old

To be told you're too much

You were learning the world

You were learning yourself

You were learning what you could hold

You still hold too much

Old habits die hard

Nanne nanne mamma

Mamma nanne nanne

Nanne nanne mamma

Mamma nanne nanne

Nanne nanne mamma

Mamma nanne nanne

Nanne nanne mamma

Mamma nanne nanne
