Stressed Out Kid

[Verse 1]
Hoodie up in July
Baggy eyes, heavy sky
Scrollin’ bills, red lines
All these tabs in my mind
Got a job that I hate
Clock in late, fake a face
Mom keeps askin’ for plans
I just shrug, change the band
[Chorus]
I’m just a stressed out kid, tryna hold my breath
Turn my panic into power, turn my “almost” to “yes”
I’m yelling “I’m still here” over all this mess (hey!)
If this is growing up, guess I’m not there yet
I’m just a stressed out, stressed out kid
Still scared to live, too tired to quit
[Verse 2]
Overthink every text
Type it out, then delete
Friends say “bro, get some rest”
But my brain don’t sleep
Got a crush, can’t speak
Tongue tied, cold feet
Practice lines in the mirror
They all sound weak
[Chorus]
I’m just a stressed out kid, tryna hold my breath
Turn my panic into power, turn my “almost” to “yes”
I’m yelling “I’m still here” over all this mess (oh yeah)
If this is growing up, guess I’m not there yet
I’m just a stressed out, stressed out kid
Still scared to live, too tired to quit
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m fine for a second
Then the floor drops out, I’m wrecked again
But I get up, cracked and crooked
Heart still loud inside my chest (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’m just a stressed out kid, tryna hold my breath
Turn my panic into power, turn my “almost” to “yes”
I’m yelling “I’m still here” over all this mess
If this is growing up, guess I’m not there yet
I’m just a stressed out, stressed out kid
Yeah I’m a stressed out, stressed out kid (woah)
Still scared to live, too tired to quit
