Alex Wampler - Early 20's

Early in my 20's
And I'm lost
I've been tryna find my way
I just wonder what it cost
So I go and get some loans
Just to fund my education
So I can find a job
That's been making living wages
Then maybe pay off
All the debit I got to graduate
We're Living in a cycle
And it's one I'll never break
I have faith in my fate
But what it takes to feel alive
Is feelin more just like a lie
The more I try to be fine
All that towing the line
Got me moving in circles
And running in place
Till I'm tripped by the hurdles
This course is just dirt
Or soil that's fertile
We live and we grow
I just hate how we struggle
Cause I can think of something else
I'd rather fuckin do
Like be with friends
And bring my girl with me too
This life is a pool
We just swim or we drown
But I hope that you smile
When I come around

Early in my 20's
And in love
I just wanna give the world
And I hope that feels enough
Cause it's tough to get a ring
That'll shine the way you do
When I'm stuck in a degree
Where the needle barely moves
I have a paper always due
So the time I get with you
Is always few and far between
All the school we have to do
With a job I'd hate to lose
But my focus is on you
And the kids we're wanting too
So I pray that I come through
With everything that we have planned
I guess I've fallen victim to phrase of be a man
Cause if I can't provide
It makes me question who I am
But the value of my worth
Is always placed within my hand
So baby when you hold it
I just hope you understand
I'm doin all I can
I just try and I try
At times I'm okay
Other times I just lie
Don't want you to feel
That you're pushed to the side
Put my problems away
Cause you're all on my mind

Early in my 20's
And insecure
So I question every thought
Cause I never know the source
Is it really how I feel?
Or am I tryna fill a void
And avoid the voice I hear
When I don't really appear
Like I'm everyone else
I wanna be like myself
But I'm back to my front
When I don't feel enough
It's getting harder to trust
What I feel like I want
But this is my life
I only get this shit once
Get this shit once
