18-And-A-Half-Year-Old Lyrics by Audrey Sherman

UN/EXPRESSED

2022

[Verse 1: Audrey Sherman]
You have an empty hole
Where your heart should be
No matter how old I get
My father will still love me
Guess some things have their own time to change
To become some important person in this world today
To some age is just a number
But to others like me
It's something important to never go under
Just to accept your future the way that it is
And how it comes to find you
Don't feel too heartbroken
If the time, place, and emotions
Are going to fade out what's coming soon
Back towards you
[Chorus: Audrey Sherman]
But if I could say something
To my future self
I would say
Just keep going, I love you, & don't try to cut yourself out
Of your hopeful picture
Which leads to your hopefully happy & well-chosen future
No matter what stupid & bad decisions that I made
Like, I kept saying
What a great singer I was going to be
At the age of 13
Or even now
Cuz, I'm an 18-and-a-half-year-old
Writing this song
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: Audrey Sherman]
Listen to my warry voice
My worrying noise
My depressing sound
Coming back around
Not leaving me much of a choice
Too choose now
Too take or leave with me
At least until I know
Where my life is going
Straight, upward, or crooked & downward
I don't know, I don't know
I just don't know what to do with my sympathetic life now
But now I still feel like
I want to go more backwards than forwards
[Pre-Chorus: Audrey Sherman]
Ooh, when will this faded out dream end?
Where will my life go?
Where will I finally expect?
That life-changing knock on my door?
When will I finally know?
When to move on?
[Bridge: Audrey Sherman]
You have an empty hole
Where your heart should be
No matter how old I get
My father will still love me
Guess some things have their own time to change
To become some important person in this world today
To some age is just a number
But to others like me
It's something important to never go under
Just to accept your future the way that it is
And how it comes to find you
Don't feel too heartbroken
If the time, place, and emotions
Are going to fade out what's coming soon
Back towards you
[Post-Chorus: Audrey Sherman]
But if I could say something
To my future self
I would say
Just keep going, I love you, & don't try to cut yourself out
Of your hopeful picture
Which leads to your hopefully happy & well-chosen future
No matter what stupid & bad decisions that I made
Like, I kept saying
What a great singer I was going to be
At the age of 13
Or even now
Cuz, I'm an 18-and-a-half-year-old
Writing this song
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus: Audrey Sherman]
When will my life & myself
Finally bloom, finally open up more to the world?
When will I finally see the light?
That I've been hoping for?
Every single time I open my eyes
Before I can even say thank you or goodbye
As an 18-and-a-half-year-old
Soon to be 19-year-old (girl)
