older Songtext
von Nightly

Woke up in the same clothes I wore yesterday
My head is pounding now, I lost my phone again
And I found her gray hair and I thought about
When my dad was my age, he was married by now
And sometimes I wonder how things would turn out
If I stayed in school, never left my home town

I don′t do the things I'm supposed to
Overthinking, underfocused
Emotional rollercoaster
Keep it all on my shoulders
Hoping no one will notice
I′m no good at getting older


Last year I almost threw in the towel
I was tired of suits telling me what to write about
Yeah, but then I remembered the girl from Rhode Island
That said that our music saved her life and
I'm not a saint but I still talk to Jesus
I hope he knows that I really mean it

I don't do the things I′m supposed to
Overthinking, underfocused
Emotional rollercoaster
Keep it all on my shoulders
Hoping no one will notice
I′m no good at getting older

I called my dad one night when I was a wreck
He said, at your age, I was a mess
So don't let it all weigh down on your shoulders
Things will work out the way they′re supposed to
It's just part of getting older
