about

a song about the fear of missing out.

lyrics

gonna wake up in a year
forget tonight existed
won't remember all my fears
no matter how persistent they might seem right now it's me
my entire world but in a few more weeks
these will be distant memories

but i wanna find out if it's possible
or if it's even fair
to be who i wanted to be when i was young and dare to
settle for nothing less
than my childhood superhero
the dreams of adolescent intellect

gonna waste my youthful years
sleeping in until the motivation appears
to finish all my projects maybe i'll settle for less than perfect
connect what's here and free
and realistic for survival, disappoint 8-year-old me

but i wanna find out if it's possible
or if it's even fair
to be who i wanted to be when i was young and dare to
settle for nothing less
than my childhood superhero
the dreams of adolescent intellect

i'm so worried that i'm sick
that i'm missing out on all of it
and i can't move because of this which keeps me shaking crying out to
end it make it stop
what's in my head, i'm so exhausted
crossing my eyes dodging the fees that cross the streets it all seems like
it's gonna be over soon
then it comes around again
find a better place for me to send my thoughts or make it end
just get it over with
give me the pills or therapist to fix the wiring in my brain again i'm asking for your help
but you can't really see
when hidden in these words it don't look like a guarantee
but maybe if i scream

the fear of missing out
it's all i ever feel
but in a year or less
this will be a stupid dream

but i wanna find out if it's possible
or if it's even fair
to be who i wanted to be when i was young and dare to
settle for nothing less
than my childhood superhero
the dreams of adolescent intellect

but i wanna find out if it's possible
or if it's even fair
to be who i wanted to be when i was young and dare to
settle for nothing less
than my childhood superhero
the dreams of adolescent

the fear of missing out
it's all i ever feel

the fear of missing out
it's all i ever feel
