Lyrics

Suns up, so I’m up, hitting the books again,

Feeling like a teen, but it’s mixed with pain

They say, “Live it up, you’re in your prime,”

But I’m just countin’ nickels, passin’ time.

Chasing dreams without knowing why

Workin’ nonstop as time just flies by.

Looking for a piece of the pie,

But it’s out of reach, no matter how I try.

No matter how hard I try.

Being 20’s sucks, feels like life hasn’t begun,

Broke and lost when I should be havin’ fun.

They say I’m young wild and free

But not till 21 do I get the key

Jobs on repeat, the grind never ends,

Dating’s a game that nobody wins.

Emotions swing, like the wild winds,

Looking for a sign, before the day dims.

Every door feels shut, every step’s a trap,

Chasin’ what I want, but I’m lost on the map.

Told I’m in my prime, but I can’t unwrap,

This feeling inside, that I’m caught in a gap.

Being 20’s sucks, feels like life hasn’t begun,

Broke and lost when I should be havin’ fun.

They say I’m young wild and free

But not till 21 do I get the key

Everybody’s been here, or so they say,

Through the mess, finding my own way

It’s just a moment, this I pray,

But 21’s coming, it better have brighter days.

Lost in the shuffle, finding my way,

“Find your passion,” that’s easy to say.

But here I am, at the end of the day,

Feeling more lost, in every way.

Being 20’s sucks, feels like life hasn’t begun,

Broke and lost when I should be havin’ fun.

They say I’m young wild and free

But not till 21 do I get the key

So I’ll grind through the year, living in slums,

Embrace the madness, until my time comes.

Being 20’s just a chapter, in the story that’s begun,

Can’t wait to turn 21 and see what I’ll become.

Being 20’s sucks, feels like life hasn’t begun,
