Everything Costs

[Verse 1]

I wish every day was heaven (heaven)

But it burns to discover

That it's a fight instead

And an uphill battle

When you feel like you can't

Handle another bit of it

I'd rather snuggle in bed (bed)

Then pay for my rest

'Cause I deserve happiness

And to not worry another bit


[Pre-Chorus]

I might be a graduate (graduate)

But graduating leaves you without money in your pockets

You can pull and rip them to bits


[Chorus]

'Cause everything's costing

Everything costs

And it's difficult to save any of it

When you're met with opposition

'Cause еverything's costing

Everything costs

And it's difficult to transcend in bliss

Whеn reality checks won't stop slapping


[Verse 2]

I dream (dream) of the financial freedom and independence

But not in this job market

I have to rise above it

I need a break from college

Maybe I'll return when inflation stops swelling and skyrocketing

If that day is ever coming

But at least I'm learning

That it's okay to be struggling

And not be pitch perfect


[Pre-Chorus]

I might be a graduate (graduate)

But graduating leaves you without money in your pockets

You can pull and rip them to bits


[Chorus]

'Cause everything's costing

Everything costs (everything costs)

And it's difficult to save any of it

When you're met with opposition

'Cause everything's costing

Everything costs (everything costs)

And it's difficult to transcend in bliss

When reality checks won't stop slapping


[Outro]

They wallop you into an abyss

Making you wonder if you'll ever find the bliss

Heaven, bed, graduate, dream, everything's costing

I'll find a job that amalgamates my past experience (work resume experience)

It could be the same price as heaven
