about

On the Inside is a reflection of my own growth, inner conflict, while grasping onto who I am at the core. At the end of the day, this song is inspired by and dedicated to all the bad-ass grannies and gramps out there.

lyrics

Wake up, alarm clock
Goes tick-tock, I’m checking my mirror
Who’s this reflection, this version of me?

No way to freeze time
Or rewind, life passes so quickly
Daring to be the best version of me

Oh, what’s the matter with me?
I thought I’d only turned eighteen
Still I love seventy-three
I’m gonna shake it, let the whole world know it

It’s all on the inside of me
Oh, I can say that today I’ve got a great feeling
‘Cause all of the outsiders, they can’t ever really know
They only see what they decide to see
It’s true on the outside I’ve got wrinkles everywhere
But hey, that’s just a part of me
‘Cause all of my insight tells me
That I don’t need to worry ‘cause they ain’t got nothin’ on me
(On the inside)

Wake up, my dream’s up,
Gotta step up, gotta break through my demons
Daring to be the best version of me

Oh, what’s the matter with me?
I thought I’d only turned eighteen
Still I love seventy-three
I’m gonna shake it, let the whole world know it

It’s all on the inside of me
Oh, I can say that today I’ve got a great feeling
‘Cause all of the outsiders, they can’t ever really know
They only see what they decide to see
It’s true on the outside I’ve got wrinkles everywhere
But hey, that’s just a part of me
‘Cause all of my insight tells me
That I don’t need to worry ‘cause they ain’t got nothin’ on me

On the inside
On the inside

Oh, on the inside
Oh, on the inside
Oh, on the inside
Oh, on the inside
Oh
