lyrics

Last night I went driving,
And I blew out my headlights,
And realised that's how every single day feels,

Push my foot to the floor,
I'm so afraid of missing out,
Say a prayer to no gods,
I should be there by now,

I've reached that certain age,
Now I'm defined by occupation,
Big ideas are now ideas above my station,
None of my friends have the job,
They said they wanted at school,
I don't know one single rockstar, astronaut or firefighter,

Are we growing up or are we kidding ourselves?
The past few years it feels like our decisions have been made,
Before we ever realised we had decisions to be made,

I called up my mother, she said age is just a number,
And no-one really grows up in their own mind,
I asked my dad what the little voices say,
When people ask him his age,
He said "I'm still nineteen"

Are we growing up or are we kidding ourselves?
The past few years it feels like our decisions have been made,
Before we ever realised we had decisions to be made,
Call it growing up,
Call it moving on,
I'll call you late at night to remind you that you're wrong,
You'll ask if I've been drinking,
I'll quickly change the subject,
And we'll reminisce about mistakes we've both made,

Nothing's really changed,
Nothing's really changed,
Save these laugh lines on my face.
