[instrumental]-The camp shortly after the vine fiasco
I hold you-Toad and Finch are snuggling
I hold you closer then I ever knew-Finch looks up at Toad
I could do-Toad smiles
But I'm confused-Toad watches Finch walk across camp
I thought I'd recognize when love was true-Toad doesn't know how he feels about her yet
But I'm confused-Toad's happy expression falters
Am I ready for love?-Toad asks himself this
Or maybe just a best friend-He says this, shuffling his paws
Should there be a difference-He asks himself this
Do you have instructions?-Toad turns to Horizon, who just shrugs
Maybe I'm stuck on what I see on TV-Toad says this to himself
I grew up on Disney-Flashback to Toad, horizon, and Thrush in the spooky cave
But this don't feel like Disney-Back to the present, Toad says this to himself
You say I turned out fine-Toad says this to Finch
I think I'm still turning out-He looks away and says this
You say I turned out fine-Toad says this to her
I think I'm still turning out-He realizes that he imagined the interaction, finch becomes made out of petals, he still has yet to speak to her
I think I'm still turning out-Toad watches the petals blow away in the breeze.
In my mind-Toad is strolling in the forest
I thought the birds would sing and sparks would fly-In his imagination, he's sitting down watching the birds sing and fly and be cool
But it's just quiet-In reality, he's sitting in the same spot watching a dead tree
Am I cruel?-Toad asks himself this, starting to cry.
[sly trumpet]-Tear falls down his cheek
Or am I ignorant or was I fooled-Toad asks himself this
By the stories I knew?-He finishes
Am I ready for love?-Toad asks this, not to anycat in particular
Or maybe just a best friend-Toad asks this
Should there be a difference-He turns to a nearby bird
Do you have instructions?-He asks this, the bird panics and flies away.
Maybe I'm stuck on what I see on TV-Toad watches the bird fly away.
I grew up on Disney-Toad sighs and looks down
But this don't feel like Disney-He says this
You say I turned out fine-The wind begins to whip his fur as the sun sets, he says this
I think I'm still turning out-He says this, looking around
You say I turned out fine-He says this, looking down
I think I'm still turning out-He says thus
I hope you stick around-A lot of petals blow past him
We're gonna figure it out-Toad says this as he watches them
Who can I turn to now?-The sun slowly sets
When I'm still turning out-Toad asks himself this, still sitting there
When I'm still turning out-Zooms out
[instrumental]-Toad doing tasks around camp while he thinks
I'm a little kid, and so are you-Toad is heading out of camp
Don't you go and grow up before I do-He watches the sunrise
I'm a little kid with so much doubt-Toad leaps up into a tree
Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?-He perches there and watches cats pass by
I'm a little kid, and so are you-Toad tries hunting
Don't you go and grow up before I do-He's so distracted that most of the prey gets away
I'm a little kid with so much doubt-Toad sighs
Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?-He realizes that the sun is starting to set
I'm a little kid, and so are you-Toad sits there, defeated
Don't you go and grow up before I do-The bush nearby rattles
I'm a little kid with so much doubt-Finch steps over
Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?-Toad sees her, shocked, and thinks it's time
I'm a little kid, and so are you-Toad says this to her
Don't you go and grow up before I do-He says this, she blinks at him
I'm a little kid with so much doubt-Toad says this, starting to cry
Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?-He asks this as the sunset
'Cause I'm still turning out-Zoomed out, Finch leans on his shoulder as they watch the sunset
