Headstart Lyrics by Jade Bird

Different Kinds of Light

2020

[Verse 1]
They say I act around you
Different than I usually do
They say that I've even
Given special treatment
I'd deny it but I can't
What you don't seem to understand
Is I won't just take your hand
I've left signs but you take no notice

[Chorus]
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
I've given you a headstart
I know us girls aren't easy
But come on
What do you need to see?
I've given you a headstart

[Verse 2]
I've more pride than many
This is kind of rare for me
Everyone knows that it's true
You're the only one in the room
But you don't see me, do you?
Must be blind how not to
That's alright I'll keep on
Putting myself on the line

[Chorus]
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
I've given you a headstart
I know us girls aren't easy
But come on
What do you need to see?
I've given you a headstart

[Bridge]
Is there a way to get your attention
Without looking like a fool?
Should I slip it in our conversations?
By the way, I love you

[Chorus]
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
Why's it so hard?
I've given you a headstart
I know us girls aren't easy
But come on
What do you need to see?
I've given you a headstart
