QUARTER LIFE CRISIS Songtext
von Taylor Bickett

I′m terrified of rejection
But I get high off attention
I drink my coffee light
'Cause I′m not fucking pretentious
Say that I read for fun
But haven't read in months
Say that I'm settling down
But I blacked out at brunch
I swear sixteen was yesterday
But now I′m closer to twenty-eight
I′m focusing all of my energy on just staying awake

Oh, I don't mean to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I′m not unique
But I'm a drama queen
I don′t know why I'm surprised
It′s just a quarter life crisis


I'm constantly symptomatic
Mom says it's psychosomatic
That I′m the girl that cried headache
I′m melodramatic as hell
Where's all the talent that I had last decade?
Another "gifted kid" that burned out in the tenth grade
Swear that feels like yesterday
I′m just a tired old cliché
I'm focusing all of my energy on just being okay

Oh, I don′t mean to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I'm not unique
But I′m a drama queen
I don't know why I'm surprised
It′s just a quarter life crisis
Mm, oh
It′s just a quarter life crisis

And I just found out that someone from my high school is dead
And another one is married with a kid
And the rest are all lying on the internet
I fall for it every time
It feels like I'm falling behind


I don′t mean to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I'm not unique
But I′m a drama queen, oh
I don't mean to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I′m not unique
But I'm a drama queen
I don't know why I′m surprised
It′s just a quarter life
Everybody feels like this
It's a quarter life
I don′t know why I'm surprised
It′s just a quarter life crisis
