lyrics

Lyrics:
The height of my ambition is basically doing this
Singing folk punk tunes in folk punk living rooms
Might not seem glamorous
Man I'm Feeling embarrassed by my hobbies when I talk to older people now
Hey, wait, may-be that's not all true everyday with my memory tryina
Say, stay, true to who I dreamt of being when I was nineteen
When I was nineteen, when I was nineteen, but I'm 26
So now I'm feelin' old at the punk rock show
I wake up really fuckin' early so I've got to go
I'm sick of all my younger friends moving away
To pursue the next stage of their lives while I stay but then
I'm feeling like a kid at the staff party
My colleagues talking bout their growing progeny
And I'm standing in the corner like a middle school dance
Looking down at my phone, a G & T in my hand
Gettin older made it easier
Cause now I know that I can be an alright person without
Knowing what to talk about
So I'm alone on the porch
But I tell myself it's cool because I really dig the tunes and it is, and I do
So I'll be keep rolling though and I'm not gonna leave any room for my insecurities to bother you!
Sing it with me some of us are young
Sing it with me some of us are old
Sing it with me some of us are both of those relative to other people here right now
Sing it with me ageism is real
Sing it with me so respect your younger peers
Sing it with me if you're feeling old
who are you trying to please?
What social standard are you violating?
Be wary of a general anxiety
manifesting itself as an issue of age like you hate your job and take it out on kids at the show cause you're feeling old but that's just you being unsatisfied with yourself
So get over it
