Lyrics
(intro 1)
They all carry on
Ask mom what to do
Go to school, do the stuff
But what do I do
I want to have a job
House and money seem to be reasonable
(pre-chorus)
But I was taught it was wrong
And it seems like I can’t catch up
(chorus)
First kiss and go to college
Date a lot and then get married
Have some kids or if you don’t want to, don’t
I’m trying, I can’t do it
I can’t get the very papers through
I’m doing everything wrong
Just trying to play catch up
(verse 2)
Not sure what I was thinkin’
When did I not want to be
Carrying the cycle of debt and poverty
And I do not want this
But too late, I did not do
The very stuff they need me too
(pre-chorus)
Everything I’m doing is wrong
And it seems I can’t catch up
(chorus)
First kiss and go to college
Date a lot and then get married
Have some kids or if you don’t want to, don’t
I’m trying, I can’t do it
I can’t get the very papers through
I’m doing everything wrong
Just trying to play catch up
(bridge)
Movies, college, and lots of love
Teach them how to live on their own
But she can’t even pay for food
I do not want the same for myself
But they just want me pulling by a strand
I want to bring the bread out on my own
(pre-chorus)
Everything I'm doing is wrong
And it seems I can’t catch up
(chorus)
First kiss and go to college
Date a lot and then get married
Have some kids or if you don’t want to, don’t
I’m trying, I can’t do it
I can’t get the very papers through
I’m doing everything wrong
Just trying to play catch up
(verse 3)
I wish it didn’t have to be like this
Why couldn’t money be a plethora
I’m trying to carve something
But how can you make something out of nothing
(pre-chorus)
I don't know what I'm doing
And it seems I can’t catch up
(chorus)
First kiss and go to college
Date a lot and then get married
Have some kids or if you don’t want to, don’t
I’m trying, I can’t do it
I can’t get the very papers through
I’m doing everything wrong
Just trying to play catch up
Just trying to play catch up
