Can i turn back some pages?
Start it over, from the top
Or be satisfied with the number that my age is
Save me from agin like Plagueis
Or exorcise the evil
But i don't even know where the sage is

I go through the stages
Every single time another chance passes me by
Regret it and move on
So stop asking me why i'm trying too hard
Maybe i just want to be liked by the likes of you

Cuz i got an overwhelming need for approval
A need to please
A need that essentially serves as fuel
Both sides of my ego's in a constant duel
So i'm doin all i can and i know it shows

But if i stop trying will i get as far as i want to go?
So stop me tho if you ever feel uncomfortable
Well i know, it's as if i want the impossible
So sayonara, au revoir to the optimism

I'm switching lanes, it's kind of a shock to the system
A minor fault initiating a cataclysm
Am i past forgiving? is my past forgiven?
With all the aches and pains of growing up and maturation

Stains the glass windows til my 13th station
I'll be untangling the knots of my astral examination
Got a fixation with sitting here and trying to think of what to do

It's so much easier this way
When i'm only motivated when i see
My friends expanding their wiki page
Drinking the haterade, but that's just the life i made
Standing on the terrace, talking how the future is out there

Cuz i thought i would be somewhere by now
With my name in shining lights
So forgive me since i thought i had my shit together
I really thought i had her until she flew away

I guess i dotted my t's and crossed my i's
She crosses my mind every fucking time i close my eyes
She's by my side, we're watching that reel change
And if i make a real change will it unlock this steel cage?
Shit...

I need to get out, i need to get through this
I need to be a better son, i need to be a better friend
So when i make it to the end, how will you remember me?
Is it me taking another sip of the whiskey on the floor of my backseat?

Well i used to dance to N*sync and Backstreet
I used to think my songs could help in getting girls
But now it just gets me hurt
Cuz i think she doesn't think about me
I think i'm not invited cuz they think i'm so sorry

I think i'm trying to be too cool
I think i got more time with you
I think i'm letting everyone down
I think i need you around
I think that i can't sleep cuz
I think i'm overthinking it
I think i'm overthinking

So how do you do it?
Make it look so easy, get through it?
How do you live like you knew it
Gets better like there's nothing to it?

How do you do it?
Make it look so easy, get through it?
How do you live like you knew it
Gets better like there's nothing to it?

Gets better like there's nothing to it?

How do you do it?
