gotta swim Songtext
von Absence!

Took a walk at 3am
Can′t sleep or talk to my friends
I think it's funny I had a party
That′s only happened in my head

I'm getting too old for crying
But I'm too young to be dying
I′m sentimental, existential
And I just feel like going to bed
Can I just do it over again?

Tell me what I′m missing
'Cause right now I get the feeling that I
Was meant to spend my time watching the clouds pass by
If there was a plan or a map
It flew like a paper plane over my head again
I could always start over then

Put a pause on my 9 to 5
Built a machine to rewind
To the past ′cause the present future scares me
And I'm not ready for the ride (Like, what′s a mortgage?)


I'm too tired to party (I′m too tired)
But I'm drinking way too much coffee (Way too much)
I'm so capricious, inconsistent
And I don′t feel like going to bed
Can I just call you up instead?

Tell me what I′m missing
'Cause right now I get the feeling that I
Was meant to spend my time watching the clouds pass by
If there was a plan or a map
It flew like a paper plane over my head again
I could always start over then

I wanna travel solo
But my mom says I should meet someone nice
I wanna change the world
But high school math has barely gotten me by

Feels like I never grew up
But too much and too soon all at once
I don′t need a degree, I need answers fast
This is a free roaring twenties experience pass, so


Tell me what I'm missing (Tell me what I′m missing)
'Cause right now I get the feeling that I (That I)
Was meant to spend my time watching the clouds pass by
If there was a plan or a map
It flew like a paper plane over my head again
I could always start over then

I′m getting too old for crying (Old for crying)
But I'm too young to be dying (Young to be dying)
I'm sentimental, existential
Has everything been done and said
Guess I′ll just do it over again
