Not Ready Yet
Navigating Adulthood: Not Ready Yet
Lyrics
Flashback when I heard Mr. Brightside
Reflecting on a past memory triggered by hearing "Mr. Brightside."
I felt forever young
Feeling a sense of eternal youth during that memory.
Ohh ohh ohh
Expressing emotions with "Ohh ohh ohh."
Cheap bikes we'd fall
Recalling enjoyable times riding inexpensive bicycles.
And we'd be alright
Believing that everything would be fine during those times.
God it was so much fun
Nostalgia for the fun experienced during those moments.
Then you grow up
Transitioning into adulthood.
It was to fast
Feeling that growing up happened too quickly.
And you hope its all for the best
Optimistically hoping that everything is for the best.
Yeah the summer wasn't endless
Realizing that the carefree summer days were not endless.
Ohh ohh ohh
Expressing emotions with "Ohh ohh ohh."
And now I feel like a fool
Feeling foolish due to adult responsibilities like taxes.
Cause my taxes are due
Expressing the burden of impending tax payments.
And don't know what to do
Uncertain about how to handle the situation.
Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotions with "Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh."
All my friends having kids
Observing friends starting families while feeling alone.
And I have now one to kiss
Not having a partner to share life with.
Still don't know what life is
Feeling uncertain about the meaning of life.
Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotions with "Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh."
Cause I'm not ready yet
Acknowledging the lack of readiness for certain life events.
Cause I'm not ready yet
Reiterating the unpreparedness for life changes.
First crush I thought would last a lifetime
Recalling the first romantic crush with expectations of it lasting.
Now I don't know her name
Forgetting the name of the person associated with the first crush.
Ohh ohh ohh
Expressing emotions with "Ohh ohh ohh."
Each year kept on getting better
Noticing that each passing year feels the same.
Now it all feels the same
Despite time passing, life seems monotonous.
Then you grow up
Reflecting on the fast-paced nature of growing up.
It was to fast
Expressing that growing up happened too quickly.
And you hope its all for the best
Optimistically hoping that everything is for the best.
Yeah the summer wasn't endless
Realizing that the carefree summer days were not endless.
Ohh ohh ohh
Expressing emotions with "Ohh ohh ohh."
And now I feel like a fool
Feeling foolish due to adult responsibilities like taxes.
Cause my taxes are due
Expressing the burden of impending tax payments.
And don't know what to do
Uncertain about how to handle the situation.
Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotions with "Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh."
All my friends having kids
Observing friends starting families while feeling alone.
And I have now one to kiss
Not having a partner to share life with.
Still don't know what life is
Feeling uncertain about the meaning of life.
Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emotions with "Whoaa ooh ooh ooh ooh."
Cause I'm not ready yet
Acknowledging the lack of readiness for certain life events.
Cause I'm not ready yet
Reiterating the unpreparedness for life changes.
But I don't wanna be alone
Expressing a desire not to be alone.
It all feels the same
Feeling that everything is becoming repetitive.
But I don't wanna be alone
Expressing a fear of loneliness despite the repetition.
It all feels the same
Repeating the fear of loneliness despite the repetitive nature.
Whoaa and I guess I'm to blame
Accepting responsibility for the current situation.
