Im 20 today a weird feeling id say
like im supposed to straighten my back
what do people do when they get here too
do we know or do we just make it up
get a job get a home find a girl play some golf
drink whisky straight without doing a face
fix the shelf change some bulbs be a fan of a sport
punch a clock, youre close to the mark
but i might not be fit for that
with every year slowly grows my fear
that im not where i should be
if i were 16 than this would have been
a hell a lot more impressive
get a dumb hobby, bottle your beer
punch your wife in the face, have a son whose not a queer
make a good eulogy, partake in fantasy
football of course i aint gay
but i might still not be fit for that
it'll probbly be just like last year
with a different number
higher expectations with every year
oh dear
