Ava's breakout single. An anxious, funny, faith-tinged spiral about overthinking the future, approaching a million streams.

What if Jesus comes back before I find a husband build a house have the kids don't know what I'll do this weekend but my grandpa's asking what's the plan for college Christmas mornings as a kid having toys on my wishlist and that one scene from Little Women years and years go by my thoughts sing me lullabies everything I've ever wondered got real cozy in my mind I'll even cry about my problems think about how small I look on the ground from way up high wish I could turn off my mind What if Jesus comes back before I write the song that changes my whole life and what if when I'm gone everybody reads my journal and laughs at all the words that I spelled wrong I wanna be in the moment but instead I take a picture dreaming 'bout tomorrow while reliving yesterday years and years go by my thoughts sing me lullabies everything I've ever wondered got real cozy in my mind I really should bring out the china and leave the light on in case Jesus is coming back to make sure that I'm ok Just checking in, like a friend and this ain't the end just checking in and this ain't the end
