Shared Name from Jacob's Ladder by Rich People

Change or stay the same
I don't care anymore
I’ve seen you grow weak
And I know that you see now
That I've grown bored

Call me detached
I've built a case against
Every friend I've ever had
Always wanted to be just like you
Until I found myself miserable
At twenty-two

I was always too small in my head
To be half as tough as you were
When you were a kid
And the first sixteen were the worst
I never found a bag big enough
To hold all my hurt
And I'm glad I finally caught your attention
I'm just sorry it took so long
Now I've done some things
In our shared name
And it was almost too late
Before I realized I was wrong

Change
Or stay the same
You're not superman anymore
It's warmer now
But the chills still linger
From when you weren't around

I was always too small in my head
To be half as tough as you were
When you were a kid
And the first sixteen were the worst
I never found a bag big enough
To hold all my hurt
And I'm glad I finally caught your attention
I'm just sorry it took so long
Now I've done some things
In our shared name
And it was almost too late
Before I realized I was wrong

(I've pushed you down so long
That the words are falling off my tongue
I used to see it as you pick me up
But you just call me out when I fall down)
