Rex Orange County - Therapy Lyrics

Welcome, welcome
Make yourself at home and take a seat
I'll be your host for the next hour
So get as comfy as can be
I'll do my best to tell you this story
I mean, it is a story about me
'Bout how I came up, then fell down
And then, I found peace
To set the scene, I arrived age seventeen
I didn't know nothin'
Why can't my ears open?
Took it in, I was always listening
I told the world who I was
Fast forward two years, two albums out
I wish I didn't say so much
But I can't take it back now (no)
So, growing up in public wasn't great, nah
I wouldn't ever trade it in for a life lesson saying
"The high is the high, and the lows are the lows"
Well, I'd rather have these dreams then have a boring life, you know?
And, even in my darkest hour I remember why I'm here
Never said what I was truly feeling 'til the way the most, for many years
But I say when life changes, you pipe up, you sit down
Speak to someone you can spend the time with
Um, I don't know, that's what I did (ah)

The therapist knows who I really am
They know me just as well as someone can
There's nothing in the world they're expecting of me
I'm simply here to speak
And nothing can surprise me now
I turn up and I let it all out
There's no one in the world that they need me to be
So I'll be myself and we'll see (ah)

2023 and I'm goin' in
I check myself in age, twenty-two, and no, I don't regret a thing
I wanna say thank you to my family for always putting up with things
And a big shout out to Steve and Linda for taking me under their wing
And takin' time, and the same goes to Damian
Who pulled me out the grave and showed me how to life this life
And whatever comes my way
I'll practice everyday, just give me sixty minutes
Once a week and a little bit of space
Soon, I'll be in a better place
Watch this
I'm not sayin' it's the only way
But sure, I couldn't do it on my own
New year, new me, yeah, yeah
This time I'm really in the zone
Everyone's just searchin' for someone to be in love with
And tryna find the thing they love to do
That could also maybe bring the bread in
Everybody has a stage these days anyone can entertain
We all need a bit of validation and that's okay (that's okay)
All I really want is to feel at peace, to find my place
Hey, maybe it's just a endless search
Alone here on this earth, and if so, that's okay (ah)

I wouldn't be here now if I failed
To take the time to care for myself
I never thought that things would get as bad as they were
I recharged and returned
And if you're sick of goin' through hell
Just know that I've been right there as well
It always go away after time passes by
So stick around and try
