Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You think you're gonna die at the age of thirty-three
And you say you always end things before a year in
You make double vision bad decisions but that's okay with me
[Verse 2]
You text me at the wheel, which you really shouldn't do
And you know I'll tell you off even though I do it too
Your disorganized perfectionism is okay with me
[Verse 3]
I know life's too short to settle down
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
It's hard for me to put my arms around you when your backpack's on
[Verse 4]
I know that I'm not perfect and you need time alone
But let's put that aside 'cause I wanna take you home
You have a flight tomorrow and of course that's okay with me
[Verse 5]
I know life's too short to settle down
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
It's hard for me to put my arms around you when your backpack's on
[Verse 6]
You're runnin' outta time to do the things you want
Leave your bags at the door and stay however long
Your accidental existentialism is catching up with me
[Verse 7]
I know life's too short to settle down
And you move faster than the world spins 'round
It's hard for me to put my arms around you when your backpack's on
