Thirty and Thriving Lyrics

I've always been a wishful thinker

Crossing toes and crossing fingers

But the picture in my dreams hasn't been adapted for the screens

And the door I'm behind is double-locked

I tell myself to hurry up I got a deadline

Give it two to three more years

I say it every time

Cuz I'm thirty

And not really thriving

I'm just out here barely surviving

Suppose to follow all the steps

The job, the porch, the kids, the pets

But I'm zero for four

Getting older isn't fun anymore

They say it's too late to keep on trying

But I just started flying

I ran a mile just to hit a stone

And found a way to come back home

And who says that's not enough

I tell myself to hurry up I got a deadline

Give it two to three more years

You're wasting your time

Cuz I'm thirty

And not really thriving

I'm just out here barely surviving

Suppose to follow all the steps

The job, the porch, the kids, the pets

But I'm zero for four

Getting older isn't fun

When you're standing on the tallest chair

Reaching for what could be there

But you can't feel it in your hands

And when you're just trying to be yourself

But there's always another someone else

And nothing goes as you planned

Cuz I'm thirty

And not really thriving

But I'm still trying

Suppose to follow all the steps

But I haven't found my footing yet

And I'm still zero for four

Getting older isn't fun anymore

Anymore

Anymore
