golden years

Christian French

I can never get some rest

Oh oh oh

Staring at my ceiling

Thinking 'bout the weight that's on my chest

I'm always worried 'bout what's next

I think I forgot

How to live in present tense (Present tense)

Yeah I'm supposed to be in the prime of my life

But all I can see are the demons I fight

Try to believe that there's a silver lining

I can't find it I don't wanna be

Spending all my golden years

Climbing all the way to the top

So how the hell'd I wind up here

Tryna be somebody I'm not?

I used to be a lot less gated

Now I'm lost and all frustrated

Trading happiness for tears

And all my golden years

I could a mile ahead by now

(Somewhere better)

But I'm burning all my daylight wondering how

I can get there

I know I shouldn't count all of my days

under the sun

But I don't wanna blink and

then I wake up and it's gone

I never really got to be the person

that I wanna be

Oh oh

I'm supposed to feel like I'm living it right

Is it all in my head? Am I wasting my time

Try to believe that there's a silver lining

I can't find it I don't wanna be

Spending all my golden years

Climbing all the way to the top

So how the hell'd I wind up here

Tryna be somebody I'm not?

I used to be a lot less gated

Now I'm lost and all frustrated

Trading happiness for tears

And all my golden years

Oh oh oh oh oh

And all my golden years

Oh oh oh oh oh

I don't wanna be

Spending all my golden years

Climbing all the way to the top

So how the hell'd I wind up here

Tryna be somebody I'm not?

I used to be a lot less gated

Now I'm lost and all frustrated

Trading happiness for tears

And all my golden years
