existential crisis in c major

(album: I'm A Disappointment - 2022)

Ahem
Ok

It's funny how time got quicker as I got bigger, I can't
Tell you that it gets better and I'm not bitter; I am
'Cause I thought that I'd be
Seventeen for eternity
Well that's on me
I'm just a boy tryna play a man
So

Ohhh ohhh oh
And I've been trying to
Ohhh ohhh oh
But I can't lie to you
Ohhh ohhh
Because my cracks are shining through
And all my days have slipped away with all my youth

Every memory's one more thing I miss
And I get high 'cause time flies by so quick
But it just compounds the hurt
When I come back down to earth
And I'm so burnt out tryna keep my fire lit
So

Ohhh ohhh oh
And I've been trying to
Ohhh ohhh oh
But I can't lie to you
Ohhh ohhh
Because my cracks are shining through
And all my days have slipped away with all my youth

Some days I wonder, when I was younger
Would I be proud of me now?
Or am I a fossil in time?
I wish I could try to be somebody else
And I try, I try, I try
But I'm running out of time
Some days I wonder when I was younger
Would I?
