lyrics
I will no longer be a sad sack 30-something
who’s still stuck leaning on all the self-hate I found when I was 21.
Back then, I thought all I deserved, or would become, was
a gutter drunk – a lonely, un-loveable fuckup.
The contrast’s high enough to see
all the lies being sold to me.
I’ve got everything I need,
I’ve got a life I finally want,
and I can start to believe.
So, where does it leave me?
Stuck in reverse with the gas tank empty.
There it goes again, that “woe is me”, that lack of agency.
I put a limit on this, call it a past life and move on from it.
Open the drawer - just burn the pages, I don’t need them anymore.
The contrast’s high enough to see
all the lies being sold to me.
I’ve got everything I need,
I’ve got a life I finally love,
and I can start to believe.
I’ve got everything I need,
I’ve got a life I finally want,
and I can start to believe.
