[Verse 1]

Something isn't adding up on life

I'm the one who left for you, the one who's leaving me behind

Grass is greener on the other side

But that line is bullshit, and you and I both know it


[Chorus]

It's 2 a.m. on Main Street

My friends are home with babies

Their happiness is doubling, my lack of it is troubling

And they've all got front yards, and minivans, and Christmas cards

Well I've got none of it, it's a different kind of humbling

Different kind of humbling


[Verse 2]

Life skills, I've got a couple now

I can live out of a suitcase for good work in front of crowds

Got some ups and downs to talk about

But it's not important

If I call, just ignore it


[Chorus]

It's 2 a.m. on Main Street

My friends are home with babies

Their happiness is doubling, my lack of it is troubling

And they've all got front yards, and minivans, and Christmas cards

Well I've got none of it, it's a different kind of humbling

Different kind of humbling


[Bridge]

Ohh, ohh

All this struggling, my adjusting

Thirty-something, it's all humbling

Not in love and always running

Know you were wondering


[Chorus]

But it's 2 a.m. on Main Street

My friends are home with babies

Their happiness is doubling, my lack of it is troubling

And they've all got front yards, and minivans, and Christmas cards

People in their picture frames that understand insurance claims

Pickup trucks and credit scores

Who the hell's it even for?

The way that I've got none of it, it's a different kind of humbling

Different kind of humbling


[Outro]

Ohh, ohh

Different kind of humbling
