Lyrics
[Verse]
June came quietly
With papers in my hand
A ceremony, camera flashes
One more place to understand
I was sixteen turning seventeen
But the next door opened wide
While other kids were finishing school
I was choosing university life
[Pre Chorus]
And I didn’t have the language
For the weight inside my chest
I just knew I kept on moving
Because stopping made no sense
[Chorus]
June certificate
Name under the light
I was younger than the moment
But I made it through the night
June certificate
Goodbye in the frame
I walked out with a future
And a half-remembered name
[Verse]
There were friends in every corner
Some stayed, some disappeared
Some became a photograph
I’d come back to years from here
There were songs and swimming water
Scripts and cameras in my bag
There were campus maps and questions
And a childhood moving fast
[Pre Chorus]
Maybe I was too early
Maybe I was just on time
Maybe every strange beginning
Was already by design
[Chorus]
June certificate
Name under the light
I was younger than the moment
But I made it through the night
June certificate
Goodbye in the frame
I walked out with a future
And a half-remembered name
[Bridge]
I want to tell that younger me
You didn’t need to know
Every road before you walked it
Every place before you’d go
You were not behind
You were not too much
You were just a little early
For the world you had to touch
[Chorus]
June certificate
Hold it to the sky
You were scared but you were ready
In a way you can’t deny
June certificate
Close the classroom door
You were sixteen with a future
And you still became much more
[Outro]
June to July
July to October
You were still young
But the dream moved closer
