FINNEAS - What They'll Say About Us Lyrics

FINNEAS Lyrics

"What They'll Say About Us"

You're tired now, lie down
I'll be waiting to give you the good news
It might take patience
And when you wake up, it won't be over
So don't you give up

We've got the time to take the world
And make it better than it ever was
That's what they'll say about us

If I say a cliche, it's 'cause I mean it
We can't walk away, we gotta get in between it
And when you wake up, we'll grow together
So don't you give up

We've got the time to take the world
And make it better than it ever was
That's what they'll say about us

I never said it would be easy
I'm never giving up, believe me
I used to think the pain would fade, but it never does

You're tired now, lie down
I'll be waiting to give you the good news
It might take patience
And if you don't wake up
I'll know you tried to
I wish you could see him
He looks just like you

"What They'll Say About Us" and its one-take music video directed by Sam Bennett were released on the 3rd of September 2020. Finneas told about it, "I wrote this song in June after spending the day at a protest in Downtown LA, filled with hope with the prospect that millions of people were coming together from all over the world to fight against institutionalized racism and inequality." He also added, "This song is dedicated to all who have had to endure this year. I hope this song can offer some sort of comfort to those who may need it."

Speaking with WSJ Magazine about this song, Finneas commented on it, "I would hope that it gives people at least a momentary amount of optimism because I think optimism is very important in terms of getting through this with your health and with your sanity."
