Lyrics for Double Down

I turned into every insult I used to eat for lunch But I slept beside nearly half those guys So tell me who's the gay one? 'Cause the sun still says my best defense Is to dig my heels straight in And double down the way I always have Smile like nothing's wrong While I calculate when I last saw my friends' moms Do they know I cut my hair? I'm someone's son now I grew into all the wishes I made on stray eyelashes But never saw myself living for the day Some shithead kid calls me the correct slur and gets away 'Cause the moon still says to hold my head Where no one else can reach it And double down the way I always have Smile like nothing's wrong While I calculate when I last saw my friends' moms Do they know I cut my hair? I'm someone's son now My rising's hard at work, I guess At least that's what Polly said If I can't trust myself, I'll hear her out I love the name my family chose Don't mind my voice is high I know she'd be proud The girl who doubled down Punched above her weight and prayed that she was wrong Got a phone call yesterday from her friend's mom He traded "I love you"s I cut my hair I'm someone's son now Someone's son now I'm someone's son now The son of clear sundown
