"Betty" lyrics

Seven long years, in another life
We were students going through it
Learning how to hide
I kinda felt weird about myself back then
It's tough in Texas when you're hopeless
Helpless, different

You said, "Let's start over
In our favorite clothing"
A new kind of knowing
For good

Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, Betty
I'm so glad you found me
Now we're older, now we're ready
Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, let's be who we
Were already

I'm a tomboy and you're a retro girl
Walking round our northern town, making sense of the world
I said sorry if I was ever cringe
Well you just laughed, it's in the past, don't worry about it

You said, "Let's start over
In our favorite clothing"
A new kind of knowing
For good

Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, Betty
I'm so glad you found me
Now we're older, now we're ready
Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, let's be who we
Were already

Betty's like a beacon
Betty's like a breath I let escape
Nice to meet you
Betty's the whole reason
Betty's gotta be my favorite name
Nice to meet you
Betty all the time
Betty all the time
Look me in the eye
Look me in the eye
Teach me how to try
Teach me how to try
Can you show me what it's like?

Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, Betty
I'm so glad you found me
Now we're older, now we're ready
Betty, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you, let's be who we
Were already
Let's be who we
Were already
