Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A is for anxiety that haunts me every day
B is for the beers I drink to keep those moods at bay
C for champagne problems I’d like to have but I am poor
and D for the depression always knocking at my door
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
Sung to a tune that’s oh so bright
But it’s followed by a feeling
That ev’rything is not quite right
[Verse 2]
E is for the Exercise I’m skipping everyday
F is for the focus that I lack in every way
G is for the Grubhub orders ‘cause I’m too tired to cook
H is for the hopelessness that’s everywhere I look
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
Sounds like a lot, it's not so bad
Just lean into those things you're feeling
And you'll get used to being sad
[Verse 3]
I is for infection, keeping me home for many years
J is for the jealousy I have for better peers
K, I'm only kidding, I hope this song won't make you sad
L for the lies I tell myself to stop from going mad.
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
Gets more sad as we go on
I'd like to say it will get better
But this is only half the song
[Bridge]
M for moods, I have a ton
N for nothing, nada, none
And O is for the openness I lack.
P is for the Prozac script
Q I'm gonna skip real quick
And R is for remembering the past
[Verse 4]
S is for these silly songs, I sing them to stay sane
T is for time going by while I sit, stuck in place
U for universal like these feelings I describe
V, the letter of the day, 'cause this song is a vibe.
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
Just you wait, we're near the end
And in awhile you'll learn to greet it
Like some old forgotten friend
[Verse 5]
W, the wistful feeling follows me around
X is for a xylophone, it makes a silly sound
Y is for the yearning that I have for long gone days
And Z is for the Zoloft keeping ev'rything at bay
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
We reached the end, you made it through
I had hoped to make a better song
I guess this will have to do
[Refrain]
[Fade to End]
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
Look! It's the end, you made it through!
I tried to make a happy song
But I guess this will have to do
[Chorus, stripped down]
The alphabet of adulthood
Sung to a tune that’s oh so bright
But it’s followed by a feeling
That ev'ry thing is not quite right
[Outro]
[Fade to End]
[Chorus]
The alphabet of adulthood
Sung to a tune that’s oh so bright
But it’s followed by a feeling
That ev'rything is not quite right
[Outro]
[Fade to End]
