In life we move through stages

Comparing all our pages

Priorities keep changingWhile we all try′na get by

Seven years old and the world is at your feet

You wanna be an astronaut or a ballerina

And all the options in between

You can be anything you wanna be

Then puberty hits and we're counting up the teens

They′re asking you seriously, tell me what you wanna be

No pressure, but you need you to know

Same old lecture

Let me be a kid

Don't know what "adulting" is

I don't wanna grow up yet

No

In life we move through stages

Comparing all our pages

Priorities keep changing

While we all try′na get by

We pick a dream and chase it

And hope someday we make it

As far as we can take it

We all try′na get by

Now you graduated and you're hitting twenty three

No job and your bank account′s looking pretty bleak but

You promised you would keep your chin up

Then in walks the jealousy

Scrolling through Instagram with the gritted teeth

Thinking "everyone else has got it figured out but me"

Don't measure

Comparisons aren′t clever

Own your own identity

Leave it to your graft

We're all on a different path

There′s no test for you to pass

No

In life we move through stages

Comparing all our pages

Priorities keep changing

While we all try'na get by

We pick a dream and chase it

And hope someday we make it

As far as we can take it

We all try'na get

We all try′na get by

Keep on grinding

Until we find what we like

In the meantime

We all try′na get by

We spend too much time working

We're trying to make it perfect

But really we′re still learning

How we're gonna get by

We′re scared life's moving too quick

We haven′t made our mark yet

You're not alone, believe this

Cos we're all try′na get by
