houses & divorces
"I think im behind in life"
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
i saw this video at the time of writing this song and it really stood out to me. if you've ever felt behind in life, give this a watch. i love this guy.
