Behind The Lyrics

This song is about constantly feeling like you’re behind in life. Social media can be a toxic place for me. I start scrolling and see all these kids I know buying houses, having kids, settling down in life. Sometimes that really gets to me. I feel like I just moved out of my hometown, and I'm just starting to find myself. Then I see people the same age as me so far ahead of me in life. I don't feel I'm ready for all those things and that kinda gives me anxiety. I want to travel, and have my own personal goals I want to achieve before I’m ready to settle down. It makes me think I waited too long and it’s too late to achieve my dreams. It makes me question where I went wrong in life, and makes me think I should have those things right now. I know that's not reality, everyone blooms at their own time and when it's right. The social pressure just gets to me sometimes. My family asking when I'm gonna settle down, buy a house, and seeing my friends all get married. It’s a lot to deal with mentally that I feel not a lot of people talk about. Especially when you're on the other side. I know some of you can relate to this, so that's why this song is really important to me. I try to remind myself age is just a number, and there are no set deadlines for anything in life. Go with the flow, and life will happen for you when the time is right. houses & divorces

Lyrics

I think im behind in life

A sucker punch right to the side

I don't want to miss out

But I got plans for me

Things to see

All the kids I went to school with

All have houses and divorces

I can't even love myself

Feel like i'm missing out

 

Who writes the rules to this

Feel like i'm losing it

 

All my good friends

All my family

All had kids

They all got married

Feel like i'm missing out

Thought i'd be happy now

 

I don't want to end this too soon

I don't want to be the one who

Watches life before there eyes at twenty nine

Should've stayed home

Should've played it safe

Got a real job

Paying minimum wage

Fuck that man I got a life to live

If im bailing out

At least I came out swinging

 

Who writes the rules to this

Feel like i'm losing it

 

All my good friends

All my family

All had kids

They all got married

Feel like i'm missing out

Thought i'd be happy now
