lyrics

There’s a lot that you need to process
It’s why you’re staring at your phone
Every time that you feel like a mess
You just sit at home alone

And say: I really need a break from all my twenty-something ways
Because I haven’t done a single thing in twenty-something days
It’s like I’m always moving at a twenty-something pace
I’m tired of looking at my stupid twenty-something face

Give me something better then
Give me something better than
Something better than twenty
I need something greater then
I need something greater than
I need something greater than me

It’s a slow, slow world
I’m moving way too fast
I want so much more
But I could do with less

You are always too tired or too bored
To go out and have some fun
So you ingest all the stress that you’ve stored
And think of things you could’ve done

And say: I really need a break from all my twenty-something ways
Because I haven’t done a single thing in twenty-something days
It’s like I’m always moving at a twenty-something pace
I’m tired of looking at my stupid twenty-something face

Give me something better then
Give me something better than
Something better than twenty
I need something greater then
I need something greater than
I need something greater than me

But I don’t want to be scared anymore

All this time, you’ve been sitting here
While your life is passing by
And the years you’ve been spending here
They’re the best years of your life
