[Verse]
Twenty-five candles they flicker and sway
Thought I'd be shining by now
No delay
Dreams in my pocket but they're weighing me down
Chasing the skyline
Still stuck in this town
[Prechorus]
Every neon sign
It whispers my name
Every heartbeat says I'm losing the game
[Chorus]
Quarter life dreams
Quarter life schemes
I was building castles
Now they're cracking at the seams
Quarter life dreams
Fading like steam
But the fire's still burning
Won't give up the theme
[Verse 2]
Got a watch on my wrist but it's counting my fears
Every tick-tock reminds me of wasted years
The mirror shows someone I don't recognize
But deep in my chest
Hope refuses to die
[Prechorus]
Every city light
It calls out my soul
Every shadow mocks the things I can't control
[Chorus]
Quarter life dreams
Quarter life screams
I was chasing sunsets but they're slipping from the beams
Quarter life dreams
Drowning in streams
But the fire's still burning
I'm not losing the gleam
