Lyrics
You said that I was religious
You claimed I was religious
Cuz I hate halloween
Because I dislike Halloween
I thought you read too much into it but
I thought you overanalyzed, but
Now I see what you mean
Now I understand your perspective
Why do I love Philip Larkin
Questioning my love for Philip Larkin
He would've hated me
He, a poet, would dislike me
I guess our outlook is in common
We share a pessimistic outlook
Unfortunately
Regrettably so
But I had the nicest dress in class
I had the finest dress during communion
For my communion
Highlighting a past accomplishment
I've always tried to be the prettiest and the best
Always aimed for beauty and excellence
I didn't know what money had to do with it
Unaware of money's relevance
And I feel like growing old is just a test
Perceiving aging as a challenge
I've been changing my profession
Constantly changing my profession mentally
In my head every week
A recurring internal dilemma
I'm too old to dance for a living
Feeling too old for a dancing career
My indecision is bleak
An overwhelming indecision
I'm never gonna own a house
Expressing the unlikelihood of homeownership
Or impress my family
No potential to impress family
Shit happens and I'm still here
Surviving despite challenges
Unfortunately
Unfortunate circumstances persist
But I had the nicest dress in class
I had the finest dress during communion
For my communion
Reflecting on past achievements
I've always tried to be the prettiest and the best
Always pursued beauty and excellence
I didn't know what money had to do with it
Unaware of money's role in success
And I feel like growing old is just a test
Viewing aging as a challenging experience
Hey
Interjection
I wish I wasn't everything I hate
Expressing a desire to change disliked aspects
Slice me up and serve me on God's plate
Metaphorically offering oneself for divine judgment
I'll always be descending from that high
Acknowledging a descent from a high point
Where do they serve the eucharist on Friday nights?
Curious about the location of Eucharist on Fridays
I had the nicest dress in class
I had the finest dress during communion
For my communion
Reiteration of past achievements
I've always tried to be the prettiest and the best
Consistent pursuit of beauty and excellence
I didn't know what money had to do with it
Unaware of money's impact on success
And I feel like growing old is just
Continuing to perceive aging as a challenge
I feel like growing old is just a test
Emphasizing the enduring nature of life's challenges
