lyrics

never thought i’d end up here
stuck between ecstasy and fear
living in my aunt’s apartment
eating leftovers, leaving at 3 pm

always thought i’d be a star
or know how to drive a goddamn car
brand new kitchen for my mom
lots of a cats a couple dogs

i always thought i’d have more friends
or at least know i’m liked by them
but they don’t call me all that much
and i’m too bummed to hit them up

i never thought i’d leave this place
this city that i thought was made for me
and what i wanted
but what i wanted isn’t what i got

the homeless men inside my head say
“fuck, at least you got a bed”
never thought that i could fall
guess i never really thought at all

sick of doing shit and not getting paid for it
sick of being told you just gotta wait for it
what am i waiting for?
i’m just getting old and getting bored of
waiting for cars to make a turn
when i’ve got the right of way i earned
standing on this filthy street in the rain
not something i should have to explain
