Real Job

Still feel fifteen, at twenty-something Same old room, same old nothing Late night YouTube, cartoons on Everyone else looks like they’ve moved on

They all sound so sure somehow I just nod and smile it out

And they say, “Get a real job” When giving up's so easy and “dreams are so hard” “Why don’t you move out? Settle down? Buy a house out of town?” And they say, “Get a real job” Like they thought of something I’m not thinking of People don’t understand That I’m never gonna have a plan (Get a real job) “Get a real job”

Still quoting movies from 2003 Still scared of who I’m meant to be Friends' got keys, kids, and cars I’ve got songs and credit cards

Everyone’s got dates and goals I still don’t think about tomorrow

And they say, “Get a real job” When giving up's so easy and “dreams are so hard” “Why don’t you move out? Settle down? Buy a house out of town?” And they say, “Get a real job” Like they thought of something I’m not thinking of People don’t understand That I’m never gonna have a plan (Get a real job) “Get a real job”

Paused between a breakdown and a dream Old band tees still fit better than the scene If they’ve got it figured out, cool, okay I’ll be lost but at least it’s my way

And they say, “Get a real job” When giving up's so easy and “dreams are so hard” “Why don’t you move out? Settle down? Buy a house out of town?” And they say, “Get a real job” Like they thought of something I’m not thinking of People don’t understand That I’m never gonna have a plan (Get a real job) “Get a real job”
