Minor Leagues - Midlife Crisis At 25 lyrics

rate me

This is a story – if you have the time to hear

It happens to us all – the fear grows with every year

He turns 26 – this time next month

Yes he's growing older – but is he really growing up?

Well, it's lonely in the city on a Thursday night

And you're walking home 'cause you couldn't find a ride

The girl catches your eye with a confident stride

She's wearing snow boots in the summer time

But you've got to be in bed, the early bird gets the

Worm

Got a meeting in the morning with more lessons to learn

Put your talents to the test? Well, it isn't your turn

No, not now, not right now

But we all go to work 'cause they pay us to sit

And we take what we can 'cause we don't give a shit

And if you think things will change then you clearly

Forget

This is life at 25, oh no

And so the story goes on – each and every single day

But it's never that bad – so there's really never need

For change

He was 16 – this time 10 years ago

He knew what he knew – but he didn't know what he

Didn't know

Well, it's lonely in the bar on a Thursday night

You're supposed to meet a friend, he didn't show, but

It's all right

The girl catches your eye with a sly smile

She's wearing snow boots in the summer time

But you have to be home soon 'cause the trash goes

Tonight

And if you let it pile up, your roommate might take

Your life

And the bugs in your kitchen have formed gangs and

Started to fight

Is this your life?

Well, we can't be pained to go to the grocery store

So we get every meal delivered straight to the door

And you wonder why you can't bend your knees anymore?

It's your life... and here comes the weekend

Well, we go there to eat 'cause it's open till 3

And we flirt with the waitress and speak over grease

And when you get a moment you think 'Is this really

Happening?'

Oh but it is

And then the chimes strike at noon but you just hit the

Snooze

'Cause there's no need for alarms when there's nothing

To do

In fact there's plenty to be done, but that really

Isn't you

No, not now... it's your life at 25
