I spent my whole youth thinking I would figure it out
Get a job in the city, two kids and a house
I never hesitated, I, I knew I'd make it
Said I'd work real hard, get a college degree
A big pay check and the car of my dreams
So close that I could taste it, I, I knew I'd make it

I thought real life wouldn't be as real as this
Well, I guess it is

I spent my whole life on the couch
Saying when I get, when I get older
I'm gonna have it all figured out
Now every Monday I wake up
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
How did I ever get older overnight?

I spent my last five years being single as fuck
And the two before that wasn't even in love
Yeah, all my expectations are crumbling like pastry
I'm too scared to check my own bank account
'Cause the numbers keep dropping and it's getting me down
So I go out, get wasted, and waste another pay check

I thought real life wouldn't be as real as this
Well, I guess it is

I spent my whole life on the couch
Saying when I get, when I get older
I'm gonna have it all figured out
Now every Monday I wake up
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
How did I ever get older overnight?

How did I ever get older overnight?
How did I ever get older?

I spent my whole life on the couch
Saying when I get, when I get older
I'm gonna have it all figured out
Now every Monday I wake up
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
How did I ever get older overnight?
