Notes

“This [song] was a planned [as] write a song about the movie. And I’ve never done that. I’ve never, like, been asked to write anything about anything before…So I was, like, really nervous ’cause I was like, “Oh god, everyone thinks I can do this. And I’ve, like, never done it before.” But it worked out. I did it…It was really, really fun. I was so honored that I got to write a song for the movie again.’Cause I love writing and I love the movie and it was fun." (Grace at the press junket for the movie, quoted by Sarah Careay at thathashtagshow.com, June 2, 2022)

“I was asked to do a song for this one for the first time. The other one ["Today and Tomorrow" for "Stargirl"] was a spontaneous thing where I just did it. And I was like, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ So that added an element of pressure to it. It was also something that’s never happened to me before! I’ve never been asked to write a song about something! But I did it. Yay!” (Interview with Euphoria Magazine published June 3, 2022)

"I really hyped myself up to Disney for it! I was really rolling the dice. But it was easy, it went really well. I feel like I mixed a bunch of little feelings and things that I’ve experienced in general and put it in one song. I took every little part of my life that had those themes of love or whatever and put it all together and made it work."Interview with (Schön Magazine published July 19, 2022)

Lyrics

Looks like it's all about to change
Life is such a funny, stupid game
You say the word and I'll say the same
Maybe we can just run away-ay

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Can't always see way down the road, too busy looking at the trees out my window
And we'll make it all up as we go
And you crashed the party right on time, just as the music died and on came the lights
So help me up, bring me back to life-ife

Maybe, I don't know, oh-oh-oh
We all just figure it out as we go
'Cause no one really knows, oh-oh-oh
We all just figure it out as we go

Way down on Barton Lane (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Some rich old man cut down everything (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Put up a building, but don't you know?
Well, all the flowеrs and vines just continue to grow
Oh, oh

And desеrts will get cold
And no one really knows
We all just figure it out as we go
So here we are right now
And don't even really know how
We just figure it out as we go
Oh, oh, oh
