I wake up on a friend’s couch with the sun in my eyes
I slept in all my clothes, and I’m sweaty and hungover
I’m 24 years old, and every day I’m getting older
Statistically I’m young, but I still feel like I’ve wasted my life
The smell of wet grass and earth, small town summer nights
Make me nostalgic for high school, when I felt alive
And social interaction was a regular thing
Now I can barely talk to girls, and I just really don’t want to bother anyone
Maybe I’m meant to be alone, and that’s alright
I’ll be fine
I’ve been shy my whole life, and I don’t think I can fix my mind
I come home every night after a long day of work
At a job that doesn’t pay enough, to a cat for a wife
The window’s view of the skyline, tall buildings and city lights
Should fill me with wonder, but instead I just feel small and out of place
And I’d like to have someone to spend
The rest of my life with, but it seems like instead
I’ve wasted all my chances and fucked up my safe bets
So rather than go searching, I think I’ll just stay in bed
Maybe I’m meant to be alone, and that’s alright
I’ll be fine
I’ve been shy my whole life, and I don’t think I can fix my mind
