Playing Pretend

(Verse 1)

I’m at a quarter of life and counting down the days

Everyone's got wedding bells and baby names

I'm still sleeping in on Sunday morning

While they're picking out engagement rings

Twenty-three feels like I'm seventeen

Watching everyone live out their dreams

Career paths and mortgage payments

I'm still figuring out what my name is

(Chorus)

Am I still playing pretend?

While all my friends find their happy end

I'm lost somewhere between

A child's dream and what life really means

Maybe I'm not ready for forever

Maybe I'm not built for settling down

I'm lost but still trying

To figure out who I am right now

(Verse 2)

Instagram feeds full of couple shots

I'm double-tapping from my parking lot

Coffee dates turn into baby showers

I'm counting minutes, they're counting hours

Till their next milestone, next big thing

They're buying houses, I'm buying time

Wondering when I'll get my life in line

(Chorus)

Am I still playing pretend?

While all my friends find their happy end

I'm lost somewhere between

A child's dream and what life really means

Maybe I'm not ready for forever

Maybe I'm not built for settling down

I'm lost but still trying

To figure out who I am right now

(Outro)

Save the dates keep filling up my fridge

They're crossing over, I'm stuck on this bridge

Left behind in yesterday

This growing pain won't fade away
