Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I got bills in a shoebox Letters I still don’t send Taped my youth to the wall Like a flyer for a band that never went All my friends got promotions I got promoted to “still a mess” Eating cereal for dinner In a jacket I still haven’t paid off yet [Chorus] Half as young Twice as lost Still bleeding out from the growing cost Every year hits harder than the last one did Still faking brave like a drunk kid Half as young Twice as lost I crash my plans just to feel the shock If this is growing up then what’d I miss? I’m too old for this [Verse 2] Mom keeps asking for grandkids I can’t keep a plant alive Google “how to be stable” At three a.m. just to kill the time My reflection’s a stranger Wearing my old high school grin Got a key to an apartment But it never really feels like it’s mine I’m in [Chorus] Half as young Twice as lost Still bleeding out from the growing cost Every year hits harder than the last one did Still faking brave like a drunk kid Half as young Twice as lost I crash my plans just to feel the shock If this is growing up then what’d I miss? I’m too old for this [Bridge] Maybe there’s no big reveal Just tiny dents in how we heal If I’m late to who I’m supposed to be Guess that’s on me Guess that’s on me (hey!) [Chorus] Half as young Twice as lost Still bleeding out from the growing cost Every year hits harder than the last one did Still faking brave like a drunk kid Half as young Twice as lost I’ll ride this doubt like a molotov If this is growing up I’ll take the risk Too old for this Too young to quit
