Everyone’s Getting Older Around Me

I won’t waste

The little time I have

And I wonder how we got here

It’s really not so bad

Because leaving is sad

But staying can be sadder

When you wake up and you don’t

Go for what you’re after

Because I wanna know

What makes you feel like living

It’s about time that you got something

When you’re so used to giving

And I remember what you said clear as can be

“Nothing feels real unless it’s right in front of me”

I went to school out there

But they don’t teach you that

When you let your life slip by

You can’t get it back

Because I’ve spent weeks

I’ve spent months

Years in my bed

If only I had a pill to get these voices

Out of my head

I know I’m worth it

I know I am

I’m getting good at that

When I look you in the eyes

And see everything I lack

It takes some time

It takes some love

To go out on your own

When I walk right through that door

I see

We'll make this house a home

It really hurts to see
