lyrics

Growing old is underrated.
at least I don't mind.
I was hurt and trying to learn
without buyin
Why aren't they laughing
Wait, why are they laughing.

Getting on but can't get used to
the disappointment of being what I can't change.
If I could string enough highs between now
and the day I die
I could be fine.

What's wrong with me
It's like I just can't move my feet
when I've I got things I gotta get done soon.
I'm not usually a bore,
this is just me in human form.
Can I be cool enough to match the rate of change

I was burned and trying to learn
without lyin
Why aren't they laughing.
Wait, why are they laughing.

Getting on but can't get used to
the disappointment of being what I can't change.
If i could string enough highs between now
and the day I die
I could be fine.

What's wrong with me
It's like I just can't move my feet
when I've got things I gotta get done soon.
I'm not usually a bore,
this is just me in human form.
Can I be cool enough to match the rate of change
