[Verse 1]
I miss dinner talks and walks around the block with mom and
Watching slasher films, how I would kill to feel that thrill again
Spending all my time on finish lines and don't know why
Maybe I should call my dad (Hello?)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wished that time passed like seasons in L.A.
When grass in the front yard was waiting for greener days
[Chorus]

It's the fear of fallin' down
And if life ain't what you want

It's the panic of growing up (I don't wanna)
It's the fear of missing out (Feel so bored of)
Will it ever be enough (What I have right now)
If I'm a victim of nostalgia?
[Outro]
I don't wanna
Feel so bored of
What I have right now
