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
