About Prom

The fifth track on SZA’s debut album, Ctrl is the most reminiscent of her previous EPs with a pop-disco sound. She reflects about her insecurities on not maturing as quickly as her partner is. Prom season is usually the last big event before graduation for a high schooler, and SZA is too busy living in the moment that she forgets she has her future to look forward to. This is also around the age when friends are growing apart and have decided where and what they’re doing with their lives .

Prom Lyrics

[00:17.16] Fearing not growing up
[00:20.84] Keeping me up at night
[00:24.99] Am I doing enough?
[00:28.79] Feel like I'm wasting time
[00:32.94] Promise to get a little
[00:35.30] Better as I get older
[00:37.66] And you're so patient
[00:39.79] And sick of waiting
[00:41.77] Promise to do better
[00:43.89] Shoulda coulda
[00:44.94] Prolly wanna let me go
[00:47.00] But you can't, oh
[00:49.01] Right now I feel it pouring
[00:51.39] I need a little bit
[00:52.81] Just a little bit
[00:54.72] Just a little bit
[00:57.00] Right now I feel it pouring
[00:59.13] I need a little bit
[01:00.95] Just a little bit
[01:03.00] Just a little bit
[01:04.93] Please don't take it, don't take it personal
[01:09.52] Like I know you usually do
[01:12.85] Please don't take it, don't take it personal
[01:17.72] Like I know you usually do
[01:21.26] Please, please
[01:23.20] Don't take it personal
[01:26.99] Don't take it personal
[01:29.35] Darling, like I know you will
[01:33.05]
[01:36.98] Forget to call your mama on the weekend
[01:39.49] You should put yourself in time out
[01:41.95] Shame, shame on you
[01:44.94] But lately you've been feeling so good
[01:47.14] I forget my future, never pull out
[01:49.94] Shame, shame on me
[01:52.94] Baby the money'll make it easier for me
[01:56.28] To run and hide out somewhere
[01:59.14] So far away
[02:00.91] Hopping through poppy fields
[02:02.87] Dodging evil witches
[02:04.62] These houses keep dropping everywhere
[02:09.02] Promise to get a little
[02:11.15] Better as I get older
[02:13.56] And you're so patient
[02:15.68] And sick of waiting
[02:17.89] Promise to do better
[02:19.88] Shoulda coulda
[02:20.92] Prolly wanna let me go
[02:22.93] But you can't, oh
[02:24.98] Right now I feel it pouring
[02:27.18] I need a little bit
[02:28.91] Just a little bit
[02:30.80] Just a little bit
[02:33.16] Right now it's really pouring
[02:35.13] I need a little bit
[02:36.86] Just a little bit
[02:38.82] Just a little bit
[02:40.85] Please don't take it, don't take it personal
[02:45.35] Like I know you usually do
[02:48.98] Please don't take it, take it personal
[02:54.37] Like I know you usually do
[02:57.46] Like winters fall on us, heavy
[03:01.87] Take it off me, all it off
[03:05.66] Winter, I can't stand this
[03:08.82] Snow is falling all on me
[03:09.61]
