Lyrics

Moved to the city with a dream
Set a course for glory
Started swimming up the stream
I had time on my side
I was young and naive
It wasn't long before I saw
It wasn't what it seemed
Now I'm staring at my future in the face
I always told myself I'd be
Someone who'd age with grace
But my mind is a mess
I'm all over the place
I'm paying the price for years
Of living at my own pace
But maybe this all I can be
So why does everyone expect
So much from me?
But I kinda wish they would've thought I'd be a failure
I kinda wish they would've took me for a cheat
I kinda wish they would've thought I wouldn't make it
I kinda wish they thought I'd end up in the street
But I think my castle made of sand is falling into the sea
Cuz I don't know if I can ever live up
To these great expectations of me
And I'm just trying to figure it out
I thought things would all fall into place
But now I have my doubts
Trapped inside of my bed
But inside of my head
I'm tied up in a tug-of-war
With existential dread
But maybe this all I can be
So why does everyone expect
So much from me?
But I kinda wish they would've thought I'd be a failure
I kinda wish they would've took me for a cheat
I kinda wish they would've thought I wouldn't make it
I kinda wish they thought I'd end up in the street
But I think my castle made of sand is falling into the sea
Cuz I don't know if I can ever live up
To these great expectations of me
I was a good kid
From a good family
I got good grades
And a college degree
But I set the bar too high
Cuz life's flying by
And I'm still not where I want to be
But I kinda wish they would've thought I'd be a failure
I kinda wish they would've took me for a cheat
I kinda wish they would've thought I wouldn't make it
I kinda wish they thought I'd end up in the street
But I think my castle made of sand is falling into the sea
Cuz I don't know if I can ever live up
To these great expectations of me
But maybe this is all I can be
But I think the only person
Keeping me from meeting
These great expectations
Is me
