Everyone is getting married
And my best friend is having a kid
All the others are buying houses
How can I compete?
When did I become that Facebook post
That said "don't trouble yourself, dear.
Just think of that guy from school who's still
Focusing
On his music career."
Everyone is moving to somewhere
How come I am the one to stay?
Playing shows to thirty 20-something's in love
Isn't that just great?
When my parents were my age
They had four little kids to feed
No room for growing up
They just had to deal with
And I think I might be too
A great dad for one or two
But when I'm home it seems
I'm only staring at a screen
There I saw your pictures today
And this big ol' life you lead
And I think that maybe
Growing up isn't just for me
I think I've seen all this before
In a Hollywood fantasy
Young boy is sad cause life is different
Than he thought that it would be
Sometimes my head explodes
From all the shit it holds
And as the photo app unfolds
I ask "when the fuck, did I get so old"
I heard the news today
27 years at best
Maybe that is why I hate horror films
Cause life scares me to death
So I'm up at 3 a.m.
You call me back to bed
And I think to myself maybe growing old with
You
Isn't bad
It isn't all that bad
