Verse 1:
The average person only lives 27,000 days
I want to spend at least 27,000 lookin' at your face
The pressure's got to me with this small comin' of age
Your twenties are the feelin' that I'm never gonna shake
I always loved your mother but she never liked me
Even though I told her she looked great for nearly 53
Well, lucky you found me, no, I don't see you and me
Our future watching BBC, few cans, and fall asleep
Pre-chorus:
Coz I tried my best to keep the feeling
You caught my eye but there's thoughts I'm not sayin'
Chorus:
Don't you think there's people having sex like us?
I'm a little scared that we're messin' up
Not too far off thirty, yeah, it's all too much
My friends are getting married while I fuck things up
Time to make some money, get a wife and kids
But I'm just contemplating what I'm eatin' next
I don't think I wanna settle down just yet
I'm scared I'll never love you like I love my ex
Verse 2:
I'm dreamin', lyin', to be honest it's just me
I don't believe in miracles or chapels by the sea
It's painful knowin' some day you're gonna leave
We might've had a future if I'd just done therapy
Pre-chorus:
Coz I tried my best to keep the feeling
You caught my eye but there's thoughts I'm not sayin'
Chorus:
Don't you think there's people having sex like us
I'm a little scared that we're messin' up
Not too far off thirty, yeah, it's all too much
My friends are getting married while I fuck things up
Time to make some money, get a wife and kids
But I'm just contemplating what I'm eatin' next
I don't think I wanna settle down just yet
I'm scared I'll never love you like I love my ex
(Spoken)
You know what?
Fuckin' bottle it up all the fuckin' time, man
It's just nice to let your fuckin' feelin's out for a little minute
And I know, it's a heavy thing bein' in your twenties, innit?
But fuck it
We'll be fuckin' fine!
Outro:
Time to make some money, get a wife and kids
But I'm just contemplating what I'm eatin' next
I don't think I wanna settle down just yet
I'm scared I'll never love you like I love my ex
