Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I sit in parks, it breaks my heart

'Cause I see just how far I am from the things that I want

Dad brought the picnic, Mom brought the sunscreen

Two kids are laughin' and cryin' on red swings

We look about the same age

But we don't have same Saturdays

Did I miss it? By now is it

A lucid dream? Is it my fault

For chasin' things? A body clock

Doesn't wait for, I did the damn tour

It's what I wanted, what I've got

I spun around and then I stopped

And wondered if I missed the mark

So I sit in parks, sunglasses dark

And I hit the vape, hallucinate a nursery with Noah's Ark

They lay on a blanket, and god dammit, he loves her

I wonder if she wants my freedom like I wanna be a mother

But Rolling Stones says I'm on the right road

So I refill my Lexapro, thinkin'

Did I miss it? By now is it

A lucid dream? Is it my fault

For chasin' things? A body clock

Doesn't wait for, I did the damn tour

It's what I wanted, what I've got

I spun around and then I stopped

And wondered if I missed the mark

Mm, mm-mm, mm

So I sit in parks, checkin' benchmarks

Tarryn's due in June, the album's due in March
