lyrics

(one two three four!)

Everyone tells you nineteen is embarrassing in hindsight
Mine was not. Mine was accurate. I was right about all of it.
The friendship was ending and everyone said I was dramatic
(was dramatic!)
It ended. Exactly as I said. Nobody has ever conceded this.

Being right at nineteen is worthless (is worthless)
You get the outcome and none of the credit

Nineteen was correct!
(correct, correct)
I read the room perfectly and everybody called it a phase
Nineteen was correct!
And I have spent four years being politely retroactively right

The thing nobody says about being young and perceptive
Is that it is lonely in a way that being wrong is not
Wrong has company. Right has a diary and a wall.
(and a wall!)
I would genuinely rather have been wrong and included

She messaged in March. Two lines. "You were right. Sorry."
Four years I wanted that.
Took about nine seconds to stop mattering. Nine seconds.
(BAND EXPLODES)

Nineteen was correct!
(correct, correct)
I read the room perfectly and everybody called it a phase
Nineteen was correct!
And I have spent four years being politely retroactively right

(correct!)
