7 Billion

Claire Richards


I still stutter, can’t decide on what I want
But I don’t open my mouth
So I choke, feel my heartbeat in my throat
Stumble over every thought

I say up when I mean down
I say square when I mean round
I say in when I mean out
I say black when I mean white
I say low when I feel high
But I still can’t work out why

There’s 7 billion souls and you chose mine
You get me like you can read my mind
‘Cause 7 billion in the world don’t get it
And you’re the only one I let in
Out of 7 billion souls, yeah, you chose mine

Finish my sentence before I have a chance to speak
Hearing voices out loud
Share my senses, you know every part of me
It’s like I’m talking without a sound

I say stop and you say start
Cause you say what’s in my heart
Yeah, you know exactly what I mean
So I say black when you say white
I say low, you say how high
But I still can’t work out why, no

There’s 7 billion souls and you chose mine
You get me like you can read my mind
‘Cause 7 billion in the world don’t get it
And you’re the only one I let in
Out of 7 billion souls, yeah, you chose mine

There’s 7 billion souls, a=nd out of all of those
I’m the one you chose
There’s 7 billion souls, and out of all of those
I’m the one you chose

There’s 7 billion souls and you chose mine
You get me like you can read my mind
‘Cause 7 billion in the world don’t get it
And you’re the only one I let in
Out of 7 billion souls, yeah, you chose mine

‘Cause 7 billion in the world don’t get it
