The Past Is Overrated

I just graduated from school, moved back in with my parents
Moved back into their house, can't help but feel antsy
Somedays I feel sad, (Sad) other days I feel amazing
3 AM in the mirror, in the mirror just dancing

I pulled into the rest stop, one or two years ago
Just came off the road, I was looking like hell
Big city wasn't for me, had to heal myself
But that was two years ago, and now I'm on the shelf
Feel like every day's the same now. Look at all the time you've wasted
(But) Don't lose your mind, cause the past is overrated

Self-help books on the dresser, getting outta shape, only think in terms of myself
Lately I've been tryna get back into my faith, and tryna move on, and tryna get out
Sticking to what's safe, sticking to what's safe (Yeah-ah)
I'm playing Black Ops on a summer day (Yeah-oh, Woo)
But my mind's in a different place, stuck in the past but it's slipping away

This life is so magically uncomfortable, but it can be wonderful
25 years old with no savings, but I can't change that past is overrated

I pulled into the rest stop, one or two years ago
Just came off the road, I was looking like hell
Big city wasn't for me, had to heal myself
But that was two years ago, and now I'm on the shelf
Feel like every day's the same now, look at all the time you've wasted
Don't lose your mind, cause the past is overrated

Lately I've been doubting myself, only make it about myself
If it's that way I'm gonna lose every time
It's kinda hard to find the humor in all of this, feels like wasting away my whole life (Uh)
Traffic lights shine bright in the night like a thermostat
Tassels wrapped around my rearview and I can't be looking back
This is just a season, you gon move through it, gotta keep pushing, and gotta keep movin'
Every night drive alone, traffic lights point home, I cant rest off the gas, can't look back to the past
Every night drive alone, traffic lights pointing home, I cant rest off the gas, can't look back to the
