about
hello! here is the first single by sean start running. I wrote this in 2023 after a night out with one of my best friends. he saw a cute girl, and approached me asking, "she's cute. should I talk to her?"
"well, of course you should."
"no, I'm scared."
"what? why?"
"I'm being such a girl."
"that's the girl inside him," I joked to the air.
"that would be a good song," he said.
so here it is! "girl inside me" explores a masculine want for tenderness, and self-love. I wanted to subvert the ideas of 'what a girl wants' and 'how to get the girl'. it's very queer.

lyrics
I'll be my own man
With a lover's picture in my pocket
Become someone I love in return
I'll buy myself flowers for every show
I play in this damn town
Because I know it's what I deserve
Give me everything you got
I'm sure that I will outdo you
Disappoint me all you want
It's nothing I'm not used to
I'll stand on my own forever
If it means that I can stay true
I'll forget everyone else
I do it for the girl inside me
For the girl inside me
I take all my time to decide on
What I really want
Because I always put myself first
I'll write you a letter
For every text I'm too afraid to send
Read it over 'til you know what it's worth
I'll give you everything I got
See what you're getting into
Disappoint me all you want
It's nothing I'm not used to
I'll stand on my own forever
If it means that I can stay true
I'll forget everyone else
I do it for the girl inside me
For the girl inside me
I do it for the girl inside me
For the girl inside me
Give me everything you got
I'm sure that I will outdo you
Disappoint me all you want
It's nothing I'm not used to
I'll stand on my own forever
If it means that I can stay true
I'll forget everyone else
I do it for the girl inside me
For the girl inside me
I do it for the girl inside me
For the girl inside me
