Safe
Mild emotional themes, no explicit content
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics deal with themes of personal growth, emotional discomfort with change, loneliness, and resilience. The content is introspective and emotionally honest but contains nothing explicit, violent, sexual, or drug-related. The references to anxiety, denial about living alone, and the passage of time are mild mature themes that are broadly relatable and presented in a thoughtful, non-alarming way. The closing imagery of 'pulling life from the loam' is poetic and hopeful. This content is appropriate for most ages, though younger children may not fully grasp the emotional nuance.

Lyrics
It's been a while I've been out on my own I get a little anxious when you call me on the phone Somebody said that it It fades away But in the interim, it was hard to see that way It's been a while I've been Out on my own I'm in denial about living life alone I said I don't like change, but I'm not afraid I can't keep it together ever anyway When every page is in disarray I think we'll be okay I said I don't like change, but I'm not afraid I can't keep it together ever anyway When every page is in disarray I think we'll be okay that way That way I thought it'd change when I got older But the same year came over and over And the only change that I could feel Was the aging of my bones And then in one October When the sidewalk home was covered over Well, I don't know the method But you pulled life from the loam It's been a while I've been Out on my own And I'm in denial about living life alone I said I don't like change, but I'm not afraid I can't keep it together ever anyway When every page is in disarray I think we'll be okay I said I don't like change, but I'm not afraid I can't keep it together ever anyway When every page is in disarray I think we'll be okay that way That way
