Talltale - 26

String up lights in my rental while the world falls apart
Fall asleep to the shows that i’ve already watched
Want security of feeling like it’s all got a plot
When i know there’s not

Heard you get out what you put in so i never stop
And if it don’t work out, wasn’t doing enough
So now i can’t sit still or alone with my thoughts
Know i’m lucky but i selfishly want more than i got

I know in the end
That it’s all irrelevant
Everybody now’s not getting fucked up for the hell of it
But to forget
That this is all part of the american dream
Paying off debt that’ll outlive me

I don’t wanna wait
Feels like all my life
Is building up
To getting by
I don’t wanna hear
Things’ll be alright
I’m tired as shit, 26, and out of timе

I don’t just want what i want, no, i want it young
So every second’s spеnt stressing on what i haven’t done
I know, i know, i’m so sorry, yeah i miss everyone
We’ll catch up when i’m finally someone

I hope in the end
Looking back i won’t regret
That i never went out and got fucked up for the hell of it
Never forget
That this is all part of the american dream
(whoa)
This dream’s gonna die with me

I don’t wanna wait
Feels like all my life
Is building up
To getting by
I don’t wanna hear
Things’ll be alright
I’m tired as shit, 26, and out of time

‘cause to be honest
I’m not where i wanted to be
Yeah honestly
I’m not quite where i wanted
Yeah to be honest
I’m not where i wanted to be
Yeah honestly
I’m not quite where i wanted
(i’m not quite where i wanted)

I don’t wanna wait
Feels like all my life
Is building up
To getting by
I don’t wanna hear
Things’ll be alright
I’m tired as shit, 26, and out of time
