[Verse 1]
I don't wanna die young
Don't wanna get old
And stay so warm
That my heart gets cold

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me there's a reason
Or something upstairs
And tell me they've been seeing
What's going on down here

[Chorus]
'Cause I get to feeling sad
And I miss my mom and dad
Why's it so hard to tell 'em that?
When you get to a certain age
You miss what you could've had
But don't really want it back
And hope that you're on track
For twenty-two and some change

[Verse 2]
I just wanna have fun
And have a good laugh (Ha, ha, ha)
Make a few friends
The kind that last
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me there's a reason
There's something upstairs
And tell me they've been seeing
What's going on down here

[Chorus]
'Cause I get to feeling sad
And I miss my mom and dad
Why's it so hard to tell 'em that?
When you get to a certain age
You miss what you could've had
But don't really want it back
And hope that you're on track
For twenty-two and some change

[Bridge]
My mind gets caught under the weight
A tidal wave, inside a maze
Without a way
I ought to give myself some grace
Either way
I'm wide awake in the bed I've made

[Chorus]
And I get to feeling sad
And I miss my mom and dad
Why's it so hard to tell 'em that?
When you get to a certain age
You miss what you could've had
But don't really want it back
And hope that you're right on track
For twenty-two and some change
