Whiplash

My sunny days of youth are well in the past
I should be feeling like a fine wine, shouldn't I?
I don't look as good in jeans anymore
Working twice as hard, but everything's sore

I don't know where all the cool bars are
I still get scared when I hire a car
Grey hairs appear on my head all the time
I'm pretending I'm totally fine

I still try too hard to please everyone
I get whiplash trying to keep this act up
I don't feel wise or secure in my skin
I feel as lost as I've always been

My eyes don't see the world as clear anymore
Brain is blurry, memories fading slow
But I always remember how to ignite
When the beat kicks in in the hum of the night

I used to dance
Just to be kissed
Under blue lights
Now I dance
To feel free
Yeah, I dance for me
