I've been in a cave with no sunlight
Reading bad news and feeling uptight
I've thought and thought about escaping here
When I was younger my plan felt so clear
By twenty I was gonna be famous
Singing in the venues on Sunset
I didn't realize how distracted I'd get
When I left school and all the pressures hit
Oh I need time
To know what's on my mind
And notice how I feel
I'm learning what I need
I need space
So I can really breathe
And let out all my dreams
Yeah I'm learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
Oh, I'm learning what I need
I've been feeling trapped in my own mind
Need to recalibrate my insides
Take steps to make sure that my needs are met
There is a star that's burning in my chest
I need time
To know what's on my mind
And notice how I feel
Oh, I'm learning what I need
I need space
So I can really breathe
Let out all my dreams
Oh, I'm learning what I need
This is what happens when you listen to yourself
This is what happens when you listen to yourself
Like pieces of a broken river
That I'm gonna pull together
And I'll use to make a fire
This is what happens
Oh I need time
To know what's on my mind
And notice how I feel
Oh, I'm learning what I need
I need space
So I can really breathe
And let out all my dreams
I'm learning what I need
I need love
But from myself
I'm giving that to me
Im learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
I'm learning what I need
