"Granted" lyrics

Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics

"Granted"
(from "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (Season 2)" soundtrack)

How can something shake up every dream I hoped for?
Wakin' up to everything around me turned cold, mm-hmm-mm
Don't wanna go back to second-guessin' my world
But all I left behind has got me feelin' so torn, mm-hmm-mm

Am I takin' it for granted?
Everything that I've been granted
I keep lyin' awake with these dreams in the dead of the night
'Cause somethin' don't feel right
Will I take it all for granted?
And be leavin' empty-handed?
Oh, I feel shaken, everything's changin' within me

It feels so dramatic how erratic I think
Chasin' everything but leave the one that chased me, ah-ah-ah
So much movin' forward just to take a step back
When all I ever wanted I already had, mm-hmm-mm

Am I takin' it for granted?
Everything that I've been granted
I keep lyin' awake with these dreams in the dead of the night
'Cause somethin' don't feel right
I won't take it all for granted
And be leavin' empty-handed
Oh, I feel shaken, everything's changin' within me

Will my heart lead me home?
'Cause I can't do this anymore
Tryin' to be somebody else
If I never left, I'd never know
Just how far I didn't have to go
To finally feel like myself

Am I takin' it for granted?
Everything that I've been granted
I keep lyin' awake with these dreams in the dead of the night
'Cause somethin' don't feel right
I won't take it all for granted
And be leavin' empty-handed
Oh, I feel shaken, everything's changin' within me

Am I takin' it for granted?


In the show, Nini performs "Granted" during the episode "The Storm" which aired on the 4th of June, 2021. Tim Federle told about it, "Olivia's got a song in season 2 that the first time I heard it I was like, I actually think this is better than 'All I Want'."
Olivia Rodrigo told about "Granted", "I think it's one of the best songs I've written. It's this really intricate metaphor and I've never written a song like that before." She also added, "I've always struggled with identity and that only gets more confusing when you start to introduce boys into the equation, which was what Nini is going through and what I'm still going through."
