J. Maya – I Wrote a Song About Reading Too Much As a Kid Lyrics
Artist: J. Maya
Song: I Wrote a Song About Reading Too Much As a Kid
At the tender age of seven, I begged my parents
To buy me my own library card
I wanted books that’d keep me up all night
And they became my Kryptonite
Instead of people, ’cause talking was hard
I’d bring my books with me to lunch, so that I didn’t have to run
‘Cause the pages built a temporary shield
From the forces that rejected me, those who’d never protected me
And for a while, it all just felt so real
{Prе-Chorus
Yeah, things were grеat, things were fine
But the magic had to run out sometime…
So here I am at twenty-one
My life has finally begun
But I can’t seem to find my way to the next chapter
The poorly adapted literary freak
With no happily ever after now
Ever after now
And so when the time came up, for me to finally fall in love
I set my expectations way too high
It turned out I was no protagonist, that boys weren’t a fan of this
And so I slowly learned that I should hide
{Pre-Chorus)
From the reality that was consuming me
That I’d never be like the girls they’d write
So here I am at twenty-one
My life has finally begun
But I can’t seem to find my way to the next chapter
The poorly adapted literary freak
With no happily ever after now
Ever after now
Maybe we don’t all get happy endings
Or maybe that’s just how it works
And for that reason I can’t keep defending
My own little universe
My own little universe
Here I am
I can’t seem to find my way to the next chapter
The poorly adapted literary freak
With no happily ever after now
Ever after now
Ever after now
