Ceiling Fan

I used to run around the cul-de-sac

White sneakers and a Sunday dress

'Til my neighbor shot it down real quick

If only Julia was an optimist

Now every time I wear my Sunday best

I'm always tryna fit the newest trend

Just to prove that I'm still relevant

Am I relevant?

It's funny how life can make amends

Through all the thick and thin

But in the end, I know

That's just the way it goes, just the way it goes

I used to lie awake all night

Dreamed so high I never stopped falling

Twenty-something, how'd the time fly by?

I hit the ground, I never did notice

Could someone tell me where I lost my stride?

Lost my sight, oh, my soul's been searching

Now I'm staring at a ceiling fan, going through the motions

My parents told me I was good enough

Said I was beautiful the way I was

But sometimes indecision has no end

And you can't help it when you second-guess

Too young to love, too hard to trust

Need to grow up

Now you're 21 and you're asking

"Dear, where's your plus one?"

It's funny how life can make amends

Through all the thick and thin

But in the end, I know

That's just the way it goes, just the way it goes

I used to lie awake all night

Dreamed so high I never stopped falling

Twenty-something, how'd the time fly by?

I hit the ground, I never did notice

Could someone tell me where I lost my stride?

Lost my sight, oh, my soul's been searching

Now I'm staring at a ceiling fan, going through the motions

Ha, ha, ha, ha (yeah)

Ha, ha (mm)

Ha, ha, ha, ha (yeah)

Ha, ha (mm, mm)

Pick yourself up, get your feet off the ground

This future's too bright for you to sit down

Pick yourself up, get your feet off the ground

This future's too bright for you to sit down

Pick yourself up, get your feet off the ground

This future's too bright for you to sit down

Pick yourself up, get your feet off the ground

This future's too bright for you to sit down
