A private number tried to reach me
Piling up missed calls
They keep up the chase not knowing
I wait at dead end brick walls
They said money won't buy happiness
You're better off with less
But I'd rather have a ceiling and
Be miserable at best
Trading seconds just for cents
Trying hard to pay the rent
If this is growing up I don't want in
Notice pulling me through red
Dreaming of oh so much more
Fill to ceiling from the floor
If we're struggling now then how
Could we call it struggling before
Thought I hit rock bottom
But then I dropped once again
Wasted years thinking I'd somehow
Meet that feeling in the end
Spent an hour on the phone
Asking for help to just get home
They already know the words coming
From the shame in my voice tone
Trading seconds just for cents
Trying hard to pay the rent
If this is growing up I don't want in
Notice pulling me through red
Dreaming of oh so much more
Fill to ceiling from the floor
If we're struggling now then how
Could we call it struggling before
