I'm So Old
Feels like I've been playing pretend
That I'm living on my own and finding jobs and paying rent
I guess I'm pretty good at make believe
Cause I just waltzed right into college
Fell asleep and now they're asking me to leave
I barely had the time to grieve
Being 22 means I'm officially grown up and I'm so old, old, old
I wanna feel the seismic shift
I wanna hear the lightswitch click
To let me know
That I am right where I belong
And there's no need to feel so lost
Cause I'm an adult
Yeah I'm so old
There's so much I have to learn
Like how to organize my time
And also what the heck's a tax return
And so much stuff I gotta do
I'm tryna work through all my trauma
Before my job interview at two
I didn't think any of this through
Being 22 means I'm officially grown up and I'm so old, old, old
I wanna feel the seismic shift
I wanna hear the lightswitch click
To let me know
That I am right where I belong
And there's no need to feel so lost
Cause I'm an adult
Yeah I'm so old
Learning everything at once, trying not to screw it up
Always up too late at night
Wish I had some confidence, am I even competent?
Cause I have to get it right
Finally I'm on my own, but it's lonely being far from home,
I miss my mom and dad and dog
It's so hard to motivate, or even get my feelings straight
Am I doing something wrong?
They told me that this freedom would be awesome
But I have no clue where I'm going
And no idea what I want from it
It's hard to see the childhood that I've lost
But even harder not quite being sure what person I've become
I thought that I'd eliminate my flaws
I'd step right up and be professional
Know how to get things done
But I still get kinda scared when making calls
And I have to hype myself up right before I go do something fun
It's a little crazy to see
That being an adult just means I keep on being me
It's a little lovely to know
That all the parts I thought I'd have to hide
Were the ones I couldn't help but show
Oh, I'm so old
Being 22 means I'm officially grown up and I'm so old, old, old
I didn't feel a seismic shift
I didn't hear a lightswitch click
To let me know
But I am right where I belong
And it's okay that I feel lost
Cause I will grow
I am right where I belong
And it's okay that I feel lost
Yeah I'm so old
That I'm living on my own and finding jobs and paying rent
I guess I'm pretty good at make believe
Cause I just waltzed right into college
Fell asleep and now they're asking me to leave
I barely had the time to grieve
Being 22 means I'm officially grown up and I'm so old, old, old
I wanna feel the seismic shift
I wanna hear the lightswitch click
To let me know

And there's no need to feel so lost

Yeah I'm so old
