The song is about feeling misunderstood by others and wanting to be seen for who you truly are rather than who others perceive. It has verses where the singer expresses feeling stuck between agreeing with others and knowing their own truth, as well as feeling like they are trying to fit in. The chorus tells others to share their stories and perspectives while also waiting to truly see the singer for who they are. The bridge conveys that while storms may come, one can learn to ride the waves and continue forward once the storm passes.

I'm not who they make me up to be Spin your stories
Do they believe me or do they not? Tell your tales Can't make myself to always just Let them dance agree Across the oceans When I, myself, knows I cannot Set the wind Upon your sails Verse II You may not see me the way I am Do I always have to be in between?

Hey now look at me I'm shyin' away And dyin' to say Chorus Spin your stories Tell your tales Let them dance Across the oceans Set the wind Upon your sails You may not see me the way I am But just wait and you will see Bridge You can't stop the waves But you can learn to surf Once the storm is over Stand and make your way [repeat 2x] Pre-Chorus You don't even know me Why won't you just let me? I'm shyin' away And dyin' to say
