You're just 11 and it ain't fair They laugh about your clothes And your dreams going nowhere Those Coppell mean girls like to talk You used to sit with the cool kids But now they're calling you stupid While you're eating all alone in a bathroom stall Oh darling, right now it's hard to understand that This moment right here is gonna write your anthem Oh, say can you see it don't matter what they think And sometimes walking through the dark Is the only way out Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd Oh, say can you see me now, me now Hold on to your microphone hairbrush Even when the weight of the doubt feels too much It's hard for you to believe what I believe Oh-oh-oh But I promise I'ma show you They'll go from pretending they don't even know you To singing every word to your songs in the nosebleeds, yeah Oh, say can you see it, don't matter what they think And sometimes walking through the dark Is the only way out Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd Oh, say can you see me now It's kinda shaky in those shoes where you're standing Just keep on dancing to the beat of your own anthem Oh, say can you see it don't matter what they think And sometimes walking through the dark Is the only way out Hey younger me, you'll get back off your knees And up on a stage one day singing to the crowd Oh, say can you see (can you see, can you see me?) Oh, say can you see (can you see, can you see me?) Oh, say can you see me now (can you see, can you see me now) Can you see, can you see me now? Can you see me, can you see me now? Can you see me now?
