57 - Thirty

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
Before the morning light, when life was lonely
Once I was 20 years old

But I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could set me right, but mama tried - mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried

Yeah, we're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time
Oh, I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me

But that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?

I'm 24 now, wondering when I will be okay
Parties end before I'm drunk
Friday night I'm tired as fuck
I don't know how I ended up like this
Can someone tell me what the hell I missed?
Cause I don't know

Real life
Fell into your eyes
I fell in love, and it was enough to make me realize
You take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25
The single CD that you burned me, we played it back

I been overwhelmed
Not prioritizing my mental health
Spending too much time wrapped up in myself
And somehow also not enough
Being 26 is tough
How do I do all this stuff?
I work a lot and I exercise
And I meditate and I socialize
And I date a girl and I read
And I try to get enough sleep
And the last two months have felt like a minute
Like I looked up and the world was looking different

27 years old and halfway to dying
Made my mistakes, there's no tears left to cry
I need better influences, not from the bottle
Drank the last drop and I'm still in denial

28 years have led me here,
I'm feeling old right now you know my fears
I'll prolly spend all my time wishin I was young

I wonder if I'll ever get to see
All of the places that I've been missing
And you wonder why I always wanna leave
29 years old still tracing the younger me

I used to run for miles, I used to ride my bike
I used to wake up with a smile
And go to bed at night with a dream
But now I'm turning 30
