My grandparents, they're getting older
Some of my friends they're getting sober
Oh, it's true that life goes on
But it sure leaves some things behind
I worked real hard, I made some money
And it's not a joke
But it's still funny
How with every ounce of freedom
Comes a pound of traumatized
It feels like all my friends
They feel the same way
The candles take more breath on every birthday
The train it leaves the station
Without a final destination
And I know
I should shut up enjoy the ride
But nobody ever taught me how to drive
I've been heartbroken so badly
That now I'm scared of being happy
So when the butterflies show up
I make excuses up and hide
Like work is busy
I'm feeling weird
My dog died this time last year
It feels like all my friends
They feel the same way
The candles take more breath on every birthday
The train it leaves the station
Without a final destination
And I know
I should shut up enjoy the ride
But nobody ever taught me how to drive
I'm scared to death of my friends dying
And I'm insecure about actually trying
I got so many things I wanna do
That I get paralyzed
And end up wasting precious time
On things that make me wanna die
I'm tired of seeing the world
In black and blue
My grandparents, they're getting older
Wish they could tell me
When it's all over
Did you and all your friends
Feel the same way
Did the candles
Take more breath on every birthday
When the train it left the station
Was there a final destination
Did you learn to just shut up
And enjoy the ride
Did you learn
To keep it all between the lines
Did anybody ever teach you how to drive
