older

Woke up in the same clothes I wore yesterday
My head is pounding now, I lost my phone again
And I found her gray hair and I thought about
When my dad was my and she was married by now
And sometimes I wonder how things would turn out
If I stayed in school, never left my home town
I don’t do the things I’m supposed to
Overthinking, underfocused
Emotional roller coaster
Keep it all on my shoulders
Hoping no one will notice
I’m no good at getting older
Last year I almost threw in the towel
I was tired of suits telling me what to write about
Yeah, but then I remembered the girl from Rhode Island
That said our music saved her life, and
I’m not a saint but I still talk to Jesus
I hope he knows that I really mean it
I don’t do the things I’m supposed to
Overthinking, underfocused
Emotional roller coaster
Keep it all on my shoulders
Hoping no one will notice
I’m no good at getting older
I called my dad one night when I was alright
He said, «At your age, I was a mess»
So don’t let it all weigh down on your shoulders
Things will work out the way they’re supposed to
It’s just part of getting older
