lyrics:
somewhere there’s a school desk with her name etched in the top corner of it
always said we were friends but my feelings were just a little more honest
the minute i admitted i wanted it,
was the minute i admitted i was different
but when you’re confidently complicated
so broken you’re unbreakable
over underestimating
anything that could’ve been more
optimistically jaded
a heart of glass in walls of stone
when you think you feel it but you don’t really know..
what do you call it?
can’t help overthinking every what if, is it a phase, will I get over it?
like what if things change? what if I’m fake?
what if it’s all just for the hell of it?
but i’m in it, i admit it, i wanted this
i’m in it, i admit it, i’m different, oh i'm different
but when you’re confidently complicated
so broken you’re unbreakable
over underestimating
anything that could’ve been more
optimistically jaded
a heart of glass in walls of stone
when you think you feel it but you don’t really know..
what do you call it?
maybe I’m scared to call it anything you call it
so i’m just calling to say..
hey, i’m sorry that it’s taken me so long,
don’t wanna say it wrong but if i’m being honest
i think I’m confidently complicated
so broken i’m unbreakable
i’ve over underestimated
anything that could’ve been more
optimistically jaded
a heart of glass in walls of stone
i think i feel it but i don’t really know
i wanna feel this but i don’t really know
i'm gonna feel this, i’m ready to let go
so i’m gonna call it
what i wanna call it

    Every time I hit the chorus after "What do you call it?" I expect to hear "It is you" and then see Beth melt over another interviewee. AKA, Tiktok brought me here.

    Wow. This... This speaks so much to me. Especially this part : "can’t help overthinking every what if, is it a phase, will I get over it? like what if things change? what if I’m fake? what if it’s all just for the hell of it? but i’m in it, i admit it, i wanted this i’m in it, i admit it, i’m different, oh i'm different" This is a beautiful song. I'm glad I found you thanks to your promotionnal videos asking queer people questions. (I had so many gay panic attacks watching them tbh) I can't wait to see what's next ! I'm definitly going to listen all of your previous songs in the meantime.

    I still call it an absolute banger with something really important to say. Also, sitting crosslegged on the dressing room table in front of the mirror is such a vibe. :)

    Beth I discovered you today and after binge listening to all of your music I realized what kind of an talented, masterpiece of an artist i was missing out on! Not a single original song or a cover of yours is disappointing im in love I am binge listening to all of your stuff your music is lyrically beautiful and your voice is so soothing so beautiful that it connects with my heart! And i loved loved "what do you call it" it resonates with me and i am super excited for "she's pretty" and the rest of the ep to be out! I wish I could see you perform live it would be I N C R E D I B L E but unfortunately I love on the other side of the world but hopefully one day I will see you. (I really hope you're well you're happy healthy and taking good care of yourself)
