25 (Still Awake)

The sun is out
Think I'll go outside
Maybe stretch my legs
Shield my eyes

Nobody told me it would ever get this hard
I never figured I would let it get this far

So teach it to me slowly
I've been getting lonely
25 and counting
And somehow not okay
I need you to be patient
I know that you've been waiting
25 and drowning
But somehow still awake

Don't come by
I think I'll breathe for a while
You're too happy now
Shield my eyes

Nobody told me it would ever get this hard
I never figured I would let it get this far

So teach it to me slowly
I've been getting lonely
25 and counting
And somehow not okay
I need you to be patient
I know that you've been waiting
25 and drowning
But somehow still awake

I won't lie to you-- it's not always sweet
Sleeping sideways while the world steals the sheets
But I am learning to curb my idle suicidal ideation
25 and yearning to be 25 and free

Teach it to me slowly
I'm sick of being lonely
25 and counting
And praying I'll be okay
I need strength to be patient
To be alright with waiting
25 and proud of me
'Cause I'm somehow still awake

The sun is out
Think I'll go outside
