lyrics

It’s always been a lifeline
And i’m kind of glad i said it out loud
I’m surprised that it’s the first time cause
In my head i’ve said it for years
I’m tired of thinking
I’m, only worth what i’m making
I want to leave
I want to quit everything
I want to be
Something more than
What i make

Kind of close to thirty
Kind of scared of looking back
I’ve never made much money
Least not much more than just getting by
I’ve wasted
Close to a decade chasing dreams and expectations
I want to leave
I want to stop everything
I want to be
Hanging out with
My best friend sam

I’ve tried so hard to stay calm
When my mind started slipping
It just kept on going
It’s spinning way faster then I thought that it would
And it’s your guess as good as mine
Where it will go from here

It’s always been a lifeline
And i don’t know how to tell you i’m scared
That i’ve kind of been an anxious mess
I’m sleeping worse than I ever have
I haven’t left my bedroom
In six days
What no ones tells you
Nothing lasts forever
What you have now could be gone
In a week
A year
Whenever
Everybody dies alone

Nothing lasts forever
What you’re in now won’t last long
In a week a year
Whatever
You could always just come home
