Dear Mom
At 22
Did you feel lost?
When you finished school or were you so excited?
By 29
Working 9 to 5
Did you feel alive, or did you hate your life?
Wondering where the time went

'Cause I'm older now
Still haven't figured out

Is this as good as it gets?
Always just bored and depressed
I'm hanging on by a thread
Choking on my own medicine
Tattooed with all my regrets
No good at playing pretend
Heartbreak's got me by the neck
Getting older scares me to death

Hey Dad, did you lose it all?
Try to fill the void with cheap alcohol
And bury your sorrows
Tell me, how did you fall off course?
Do you blame yourself?
For the divorce
That left us hollow

'Cause you're so much older now
Tell me, have you figured out

Is this as good as it gets?
Always just bored and depressed
I'm hanging on by a thread
Choking on my own medicine
Tattooed with all my regrets
So sick of playing pretend
Heartbreak's got me by the neck
Getting older scares me to death

Is this as good as it gets?
Is this as good as it gets?
Is this as good as it gets?
Is this as good as it gets?

Dear older me
Hope you're doing fine
Did you find your way?
Take your own advice
Right now I need a reminder

If this is as good as it gets
Be grateful for every breath
Good friends that still haven't left
A heart that's beating in my chest
Tattooed with all my regrets
Learning to love all of them
So close to it all making sense
But getting older scares me to death

Is this as good as it gets?
Is this as good as it gets?
