Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to wake up smiling
Sun on the bedspread, feet on the floor
I’d run through the rooms like I owned them
Laughing so hard I couldn’t keep score
Back then my name felt lighter
Bare knees, dirty shoes, open hands
Now every morning tastes heavy
Like I’m waking up underwater again
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss that kid in the hallway
I miss the spark in my chest
Now I just stare at the ceiling
And let the hurt do the rest
[Chorus]
I miss waking up smiling
(I miss waking up smiling)
I miss running wild and free
(I miss running wild and free)
Now I’m drowning in my own misery
(I’m drowning, I’m drowning)
Somewhere my old self sleeps
And he won’t answer me
[Verse 2]
The yard had grass like a promise
The fence had scratches from a thousand plays
Now my hands shake in the morning
Like they forgot the shape of better days
I wear this pain like a shadow
It follows close when the room goes still
I keep my face in the mirror
And barely know the boy in it still
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss that kid in the hallway
I miss the spark in my chest
Now I just stare at the ceiling
And let the hurt do the rest
[Chorus]
I miss waking up smiling
(I miss waking up smiling)
I miss running wild and free
(I miss running wild and free)
Now I’m drowning in my own misery
(I’m drowning, I’m drowning)
Somewhere my old self sleeps
And he won’t answer me
[Bridge]
If I could reach through the years
Pull that laughter back by the sleeve
I’d tell him don’t grow up too fast
And don’t let the dark get you like me
I’m trying, I’m trying
But the hole stays deep
I call my own name softly
Still the silence won’t speak
[Chorus]
I miss waking up smiling
(I miss waking up smiling)
I miss running wild and free
(I miss running wild and free)
Now I’m drowning in my own misery
(I’m drowning, I’m drowning)
Somewhere my old self sleeps
And he won’t answer me

Slow trap hip hop with half-time drums, sparse piano chords, and a low sub pulse; verse rides a bare piano motif with tight hi-hat flickers, pre-chorus opens with filtered pads and a reverse swell, chorus hits with stacked male doubles and a short chantable hook. Add vinyl crackle between lines, a delayed piano answer after key phrases, and a final verse that drops to voice and keys before the last lift. Dark, intimate close-mic mix with wide reverb tails and crisp low-end impact., happy, sad, rap, slow, hip hop
