[Verse 1]

Went to get groceries, saw Omar Apollo

Paid seventeen dollars for two avocados

And I can't afford it, but that's how they get ya

It don't come cheap

Now I'm in my car and I drive past a busker

He's nailing a riff, hoping he gets discovered

I'm tripping now 'cause he essentially

Sings the same song as me


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm never where I think I oughta be


[Chorus]

Watching the game from the nosebleeds

Living my life from a distance

Thought twenty-six would be different

But I'm finding that's not the way that it works (Da-da-da-da-da-da)

Back of my mind, I'm still thirteen

Walking around like a freshman

Who lеt the kid through the door? It's absurd

It's the stupidеst thing that I heard (Da-da-da-da-da-da)


[Verse 2]

So I park in some driveway and flip down the mirror

I say, "Danny, you're awesome, you deserve to be here"

A room full of strangers, friends you ain't made yet

It's not that deep

But it goes out the window once I'm in the hot seat

So I picture 'em naked, but I can't stop laughing

Aren't we just monkeys in winter coats

Thinking the same damn thing?


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm never where I think I oughta be


[Chorus]

Watching the game from the nosebleeds

Living my life from a distance

Thought twenty-six would be different

But I'm finding that's not the way that it works (Da-da-da-da-da-da)

The back of my mind, I'm still thirteen

Walking around like a freshman

Who let the kid through the door? It's absurd

It's the stupidest thing that I heard (Da-da-da-da-da-da)


[Bridge]

Fuck that

Your boy's out here trying to make contact

Swing for the touchdown

Yeah, put me in, coach, I could run, Forrest, run

I'm trying to shoot out the sun

And the game's only mine to lose

I'm the heckler that's hating on you


[Chorus]

From the nosebleeds

Living my life from a distance

Thought twenty-six would be different

But I'm finding that's not the way that it works (Da-da-da-da-da-da)

The back of my mind, I'm still thirteen

Walking around like a freshman

Who let the kid through the door? It's absurd

It's the stupidest thing that I heard (Da-da-da-da-da-da)


[Outro]

Watching the game from the nosebleeds
