everythings a waste. its all pointless.
yeah it’s a big deal but we’re already over it.
empty is kid shit. lonely is passe.
30's the new 17. and you’re ok.
yeah you're ok.
you were seven. you were sixteen.
you were twenty one, so i guess you were eighteen.
you were thirty six. you were fourty five.
its been a long time, but you were fourty five.
you let things stumble by,
you let them get away
so now you blame yourself
for all the moves you didn’t make
we've all wanted to turn around
go back to being kids
like just because we're old
we aren't fucking idiots
like just because we're old
we aren't fucking idiots
i know you'd like to think you could've
got that job
you could have kept that girl
you could have won that fight
you could have buckled down
you could have
could have been strong
you could have done things right
you could have even tried
then you’d have a different life
you could have
i guess you could have
but you are fine
you are alright
you just can't do it

that you're feeling aimless
i know it's a problem
but where you gonna go
you're only 25
you're only 25
you're only 25
i know that its hard working with what you've got
theres someone you woke up and found out you're not
i know where you are and it's not giving up
what you had wasn't it you just thought that it was
and living is tough and you're fucking it up
and you're sad and you're lost and you're mean when you're drunk
i know what it is i know what you want
there's something you knew but woke up and forgot
and everythings gone all the good days are done
something was fucking great but what was it
come on
you know what it is you know what you want
there's something you were till you found out you're not

I wish I had a friend and I could stay at their house
and I could eat all their food
and i could sleep on their couch
i wish that i had a friend that had an extra bedroom
and i could take a little break
and figure out exactly
what im gonna do
i wish i had a friend that had a big screen tv

when you're a little kid and somebody asks you
what you wanna be when you grow up
and you tell em that you wanna be the president
or maybe that you want to be an astronaut
or a teacher or a fire truck
or a doctor or a dog
no one ever tells you
that it sucks to be
anything at all
it sucks being a slacker
and it sucks bein a drone
and it sucks being addicted
but it sucks not being stoned
it sucks to be a boyfriend
and it sucks being alone
everyones depending on me
my friends and my fucking bosses
never thought i'd say this but i
think i might go back to college
honestly
so I think I'll go back to college forever
i won't take any classes
i won't write any papers
i'll just live in the basement
like I did 10 years ago
consider this my application
i know admissions has been waiting
im exactly the kind of student
youre looking for
ill take out loan after loan
after loan after loan
they wont be my problem

you talk like adam when you're angry
cuz you watch a lot of tv
harsh and clipped and with an accent
makes it sound like you're from boston
you're from boston
you smile out your parents' basement window
so i know you're glad to see me
later on i catch you making that same face in the mirror
and i ask you what you're doing
and you tell me that it's nothing
and you tell me that you love me
and the syllables come out like
you are really really trying

really lost
03:13
|
|||
|
these expeditions are getting reckless
we're getting further out and more disconnected
everybodys been taught a lot of ways to feel small
sometimes forgetting that can make us strong
i just get scared sometimes, when im lost,
i might really be lost
and there are some things
that you can never fix at all
