​​adulting

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Just keep doing what I'm doing

And keep convincing everybody that they're wrong

And that's what I'll do, cause I always do it

But I'm just tired

I haven't seen my childhood friends in two years

And I far they might have forgotten my name

Cause everybody knows that that changed, like me

I'm clinging to my childhood dreams

I made real

But still feel that I'll never shine like the stars

I'm still just a kid that makes art

And nobody knows that I'm crying on Tuesday's

And just trying to get out of bed

My sink drain is broken

My bank account's frozen

Adulting is not what they said

Somebody hold me, are all 20 something's this lonely?

I'm falling apart and I can't call my mom 'cause she knows me too well

I can't let it out 'cause it feels like hell

Someone hold me, I know that I can't be the only one who's a mess

'Cause adulting is kids all just trying their best

We do what we can and then bullshit the rest

That's adulting

Haven't had the strength to go home in six months

And not once have I sent a text to my dad

He probably thinks that I'm dead

Mmm-mmm

But he doesn't know that I'm dying on Wednesday's

And just trying to get out of bed

My sink drain is broken

My bank account's frozen

I still can't get out of my head

Somebody hold me, are all 20 something's this lonely?

I'm falling apart and I can't call my mom 'cause she knows me too well

I can't let it out 'cause it feels like hell

Someone hold me, I know that I can't be the only one who's a mess

'Cause adulting is kids all just trying their best

We do what we can and then bullshit the rest

That's adulting

Hold me, I know that I can't be the only

Are all 20 something's this lonely?

Hold me

I haven't seen my childhood friends in two years

But they're here wherever I'm going insane

If nobody told you today

You're gonna be okay
