[Verse 1] Twenty-seven Where the hell did that time go Faded wristbands in a desk drawer Still smell like cheap cologne Felt like I was twenty-one Last week on some stranger’s floor Laughing loud at nothing Thinking I would get “much more” [Chorus] I never asked for any of this Never asked to be here Like this This life is so hard to please Always raising the bar on me Feels like I’m running out of air In the middle of a crowded year Do I keep going Or do I lose myself completely? I don’t wanna let me down Even when giving up seems easy [Verse 2] Every list on my phone glows Things I swore I would’ve done Names I thought I’d fall in love with Cities I was meant to run All these “should have been there by nows” Piled up beside my bed I lie still Stare at the ceiling Argue with a voice inside my head (so loud) [Chorus] I never asked for any of this Never asked to be here Like this This life is so hard to please Always raising the bar on me Feels like I’m running out of air In the middle of a crowded year Do I keep going Or do I lose myself completely? I don’t wanna let me down Even when giving up seems easy [Bridge] What if this breath Is worth more than the blueprint What if this step Counts more than where my shoes went What if I’m late To a life that still wants me (hey) What if my fate Is carved by every small “still trying” [Chorus] I never asked for any of this Never asked to be here Like this This life is so hard to please Always raising the bar on me Feels like I’m running out of air In the middle of a crowded year But I keep going So I don’t lose me completely I won’t let myself stay down Even when giving up seems easy [Outro] Twenty-seven seconds I breathe in Then let it go I’m not where I thought I’d be But I’m still here And that’s something I chose
