Hands pressed to your thighs as if you could protect them

From the thoughts that you've had that conspire against them

Even though you need them to get by

Last chance to be a kid with a cereal box

Had a dream in your head, but you woke up and lost it

And you only get a few more candles before you're too old

To try again, to be a wreck, to get the sympathy of friends

Who see that you're not there yet, but they say that you'll get there and then

All of a sudden, you're a bad liar

'Cause you said that it would get better

But all of the sudden, it's a trash fire

And you can't put it out, can't put it out

All of a sudden, you're a hostage

To things you thought you wanted

All of a sudden, you're a hot mess

And you can't sweat it out, can't sweat it out

Ah ooh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Gets tough being young, but you do it for kicks

Kinda hate how it tastes, but you eat it with chopsticks

Existentialist, you wanna know what all of this is

Four more months, it's just a season

Cut your loss, you'll start to think that

Things you have are things you'll lose

It's normal, but it's not the truth

And all of a sudden, you're a bad liar

'Cause you said that it would get better

But all of the sudden, it's a trash fire

And you can't put it out, can't put it out

All of a sudden, you're a hostage

To things you thought you wanted

All of a sudden, you're a hot mess

And you can't sweat it out, can't sweat it out

Ah ooh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Ah ooh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

And all of a sudden, you're a bad liar

All of a sudden, you're a trash fire

But if anybody treats you like a hazard

You're the one with your thumb on the lighter
