If somebody told me
Iād die at 40
I wouldnāt have spent my time in bed
Writing my dumb songs
And my growing up songs
I shouldāve just grown up instead
Now all of the interns
Are no longer interns
How long have I been out of town
Cause sometimes I wonder
If I had kissed her
How different life would be right now
I smile when I cry
To hide what I felt
Iām doing fine
Speak for yourself
I should have just asked for help
Hey
Itās 2085, and weāre old as shit, whatever
Hey
Iād hate to have to die āfore I get my head
Together, whatever
So finish your work now
Itās getting warm out
If you got friends donāt let them leave
I turned twenty something
It didnāt mean nothing
Cause not one of them were there to see
And go tell your grandson to go tell his grandson
You donāt have to try so hard, you know
Cause I spent my whole life
Tryna be so liked
That only made āem hate me more
Did I make you proud
Did I screw this up
Sing with me loud
Itās all that I got
To know if I did or not
Hey
Itās 2085, and weāre old as shit, whatever
Hey
Iād hate to have to die āfore I get my head
Together, together, together, whatever
Oooooh, oooooh
You gotta get better, youāre all that Iāve got
Ooooooh, ooooooh
Donāt take forever, youāre not here for long
Oooooh, ahhhhh
You gotta get better, youāre all that Iāve got
Donāt take forever, youāre not here for long
I wish I was me
Whoever that is
I could just be
And not give a shit
Hey Iāll be whatever makes you a fan
Cause I donāt know who the hell I am
I think itās too late
To figure this out
If I could be me
I would have been it by now
Maybe Iām a stone
Or big as my house
It looks like our time is running out
So if this is me
Then Iāll do my best
Iāll take all the shit
So you never have to
You can be you
And Iāll be the rest
Yeah maybe thatās who the hell I am
Woah
You gotta get better, youāre all that Iāve got
Woah
Donāt take forever, youāre not here for long
Dadada
You gotta get better, youāre all that Iāve got
Donāt take forever, youāre not here for long
Mmmmm
I gotta get better, Iām all that Iāve got
For two or three minutes then Iām gone

I love the story of this album. It starts with you realizing that you have to be you but not knowing what that is yet. The whole album goes to the idea of getting out there and trying to figure it out with yourself and others. Then you end it by saying that there isnāt enough time to try to figure out who you are, and itās better to just live it. Beautiful work
