Older

Woke up in the same clothes I wore yesterday

My head is pounding now, I lost my phone again

And I found her gray hair and I thought about

When my dad was my age, he was married by now

And sometimes I wonder how things would turn out

If I stayed in school, never left my home town

I don't do the things I'm supposed to

Overthinking, underfocused

Emotional rollercoaster

Keep it all on my shoulders

Hoping no one will notice

I'm no good at getting older

Last year I almost threw in the towel

I was tired of suits telling me what to write about

Yeah, but then I remembered the girl from Rhode Island

That said that our music saved her life and

I'm not a saint but I still talk to Jesus

I hope he knows that I really mean it

I don't do the things I'm supposed to

Overthinking, underfocused

Emotional rollercoaster

Keep it all on my shoulders

Hoping no one will notice

I'm no good at getting older

I called my dad one night when I was a wreck

He said, at your age, I was a mess

So don't let it all weigh down on your shoulders

Things will work out the way they're supposed to

It's just part of getting older
