[Intro]
Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth
I wish I'd done it a bit better
[Verse 1]
Sometimes there are two, three, four of me
All fighting at the funeral 'bout who gets to own the property
Guess I always turn up just a little too early
I stay a little longer, wake up feeling pretty dirty
[Verse 2]
But you're the only one who gets this
The last one left standing that I can be absurd with
Come on, what am I supposed to do?
Yes, I know I'm hard work, baby, I love you too
[Chorus]
Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth before it ends
I wish I'd done it a bit better, kept my cool around the bends
Everything goes so fast now
Let's hold it a moment and slow down
How can you leave me just right when my head and I can't be alone?
[Verse 3]
Secretly I'm not as sordid as I say I am
I'm bursting at the seams waiting to hear again how great I am
Yellow, red, pink, love me some low light
It goes really well until you find out what I'm really like
[Verse 4]
We go out to breakfast, I make two years of mess
I'm running out of answers and I'm not even dressed
I like to think I'm balanced, but can't look at my phone
'Cause you're so hyped and now I'm jealous and still on my own
[Chorus]
Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth before it ends
I wish I'd done it a bit better, kept my cool around the bends
Everything goes so fast now
Let's hold it a moment and slow it down
How can you leave me just right when my head and I can't be alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah you gotta go now, I guess I'm alone now
Yeah you gotta go now, I guess I'm alone now
[Chorus]
Doing my best to juice the last out of my youth before it ends
I wish I'd done it a bit better, kept my cool around the bends
Everything goes so fast now
Let's hold it a moment and slow it down
How can you leave me just right when my head and I can't be alone?
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah you gotta go now, I guess I'm alone now
Yeah you gotta go now, I guess I'm alone now
