​twenty-something MICO

[Verse 1]
When I was ten, I used to think that all the high school kids were cool
Going through four years, I had my twenties all planned through
But now I've doubled down on those two digits I outgrew
And yet I still know nothing new
I never graduated senior, so I never left for school
My friends would go and party while I'd stay up in my room
My parents said the music wouldn't pay for all my dues
And now I wish I'd thought this through

[Chorus]
I'm so sick and tired of the chanting by the fire
While the candle lost its spark
Can't help but feel sorry for the people at my party
Almost twenty-one, but I think I'm done

[Verse 2]
I see another moment happening, another dream I'll pass
Too scared to say a word when I'm responding to their texts
I'm throwing out my chances every time they're in my hand
And yet I wonder why they don't come back
No, I'm too busy moping over all the memories I lost
And living out my dreams until they leave me in the dark
They slowly turn to terrors as I lose the kid I was
'Cause if he saw me, he'd turn 'round and run
