​golden years
[Verse 1]
I can't ever get some rest, oh
Staring at my ceiling
Thinking 'bout the weight that's on my chest
I'm always worried 'bout what's next
I think I forgot
How to live in present tense (Present tense)

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm supposed to be in the prime of my life
But all I can see are the demons I fight
Try to believe that there's a silver lining
I can't find it, I don't wanna be

[Chorus]
Spending all my golden years
Climbing all the way to the top
So how the hell'd I wind up here
Tryna be somebody I'm not?
Used to be a lot less jaded
Now I'm lost and all frustrated
Trading happiness for tears
And all my golden years

[Verse 2]
I could be a mile ahead by now (Somewhere better)
But I'm burning all my daylight wondering how I can get there
I know I shouldn't count all of my days under the sun
But I don't wanna blink and then I wake up and it's gone
I never really got to be the person that I wanna be, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm supposed to feel like I'm living it right
Is it all in my head? Am I wasting my time?
Try to believe that there's a silver lining
I can't find it, I don't wanna be

[Chorus]
Spending all my golden years
Climbing all the way to the top
So how the hell'd I wind up here
Tryna be somebody I'm not?
Used to be a lot less jaded
Now I'm lost and all frustrated
Trading happiness for tears
And all my golden years

[Bridge]
Oh
And all my golden years
Oh
I don't wanna be

[Chorus]
Spending all my golden years
Climbing all the way to the top
So how the hell'd I wind up here
Tryna be somebody I'm not?
Used to be a lot less jaded
Now I'm lost and all frustrated
Trading happiness for tears
And all my golden years
