(Grown-up mode, activated…) Adulting's a trip, that's all I know [Verse 1] Got my own place, thought it'd be sweet But bills pile up, can't make ends meet Empty fridge, laundry's a mess "Wingin' it" is my best guess [Transition] Adulting's a struggle, but I'm here Counting every dollar every year Rent eats first, that's how it goes Still clapping when the paycheck shows [Verse 2] Thought I'd be thriving, living large Microwave dinners, maxed-out cards Endless to-do list, no escape Every crossed-off box leaves ten in place [Hook] Adulting's a beast, but I take a stand Faking it till I understand Mortgage? Nope, renting's my fate Living for Friday, that's my state [Chorus 1] Adulting, a trial by fire Running on caffeine and worn-out tires Clock in, clock out, drag my feet Still somehow broke by the end of the week [Break] (Grown-up? Honestly, unclear) One more bill and I disappear! [Verse 3] Lost my keys, forgot the trash One bad week and I'm short on cash They said someday I'd feel grown inside I'm just Googling how to survive [Chorus 2] Adulting, sink or swim, that's the game Paying my dues, all the same From 9 to 5, then stare at screens Too broke for plans, too tired for dreams [Bridge] Adulting's a road with no map clear Acting brave while fueled by fear One step at a time, that's my pace No clue if I'm winning this race [Outro] (Grown-up mode, still engaged…) Adulting's a puzzle, I'm still amazed Maybe one day I'll solve the game But till then, I'll keep adulting, all the same [END]
