lyrics

I had it figured out when I was eight years old
New York City is where I told my mom
I was meant to be
I lost the plot at 21
San Francisco here I've come so far
I'm gonna be a star
But I think I've changed my mind
I'm going to the other side
They say the twenties are the best times of your life
I say bullshit
This isn't it
Wake me up when I'm 35
My boyfriend just left
And my best friend died last night
So much for sobriety
We revel in our poverty
Put whiskey in our coffee
Oh are boss he'll never know
To help out with the misery
We take a hit of ecstasy
For the boy who never called
For the girl who wrote you letters
For the ones you've left behind
I swear it must get better
And they say the 20's are the best times of your life
I say bullshit
This isn't it
The beauty about getting old
Is self control
Like beer before liquor makes you sicker
No more cocaine
Friends start having babies
All you have are memories
Cause things are never easier
When you're an aimless dreamer
Don't ask us about our degrees
You can't pay rent will film theories
They say the 30's are the time you get it right
I say dream on
They have it wrong
We used to want to make history
Now we want to make it out of poverty
We used to want to make history
