lyrics

I’ve been doing basic mathematics
I’ve been doing awful calculations
I learned that we’re almost at the age where
Our folks were when their folks passed away and

I’ve been doing the math and I
Can’t figure out how to live and let die
I want to feel alright about it
But I’m stuck at home doing mathematics

I’ve been doing math and finding out how
Old my dad was when he had my brother
Or what age my mom was when her mom died
And how close I am to halfwaythrough life

Add and subtract the years from the
Average of all the people that you
Reference for some kinda twisted metric
Holy fuck I really hate this shit

Four years older than my youngest uncle
When I was born, now he’s retired.
Four years younger than Bruce when he wrote
Nebraska, so I’ve got time to pull it together

Looking at my age relative to
What other people managed to do
By 29, god it’s so pathetic
But my brain’s just stuck on mathematics

I hate how my face feels when i get too much sun:
Tired and worn out not things a boy my age should
be feeling. Oh mercy, I’m fucked I’m spinning out now.
I’m trying to slow down, thing is I just don’t know how

Add and subtract the years from the
Average of all the people that you
Back your life up against like a
Grade school recess measuring contest

Looking at my age relative to
What other people managed to do
By 29, god it’s so pathetic
But my brain’s just stuck on mathematics
