This is what you asked for isn't it?
When you were younger, this is what you wanted when you got older.
This is not the shit I signed up for when I was younger
I promised my father, I swore to my mother
That I would follow all the things I wanted, do all the things only others thought of.
I guess I turned out fine but I
I can't shake, the feeling that I'm running out of time
I can't beat it maybe my mom was right
I should've stayed in school should've grown up right
Should've went to college maybe learned how to write
But that's not the way I needed things to go
I just needed space I just had to grow
I had to fall in love with the girl of my dreams just to
break her heart and rip mine from the seams.
Cause that's what we do as human beings
Fly ourselves to the top just to clip our wings and fall back to earth
more reality, back to what they want, back to what they need
back to rushing things, bad anxiety
crippling thoughts in your head, stomach pains in your bed
all the blood that you've bled, all the tears that you shed
led to moments like now that make you wish you were dead
and then it stops, things get different.
You skip a beat cause you missed the rhythm
you're finding ways in life you never knew were there
some days will drag on forever
some days you'll wish that they'll never end
so they'll go on and on.
