Future Teens: "I don't think we set out to write an album of mental health bangers"
"If we stop touring, are we even a band?" considers Future Teens' co-vocalist Amy Hoffman. They're almost certainly joking, but Future Teens have built...
Lyrics
I've gotta get outta here
Sometime or another
Get off my ass make my way back to work
Cat-sitting doesn't call for undivided attention you know
I know
I've seen too many fall apart this way
I swore I wouldn't add to the tally
If we're true to the narrative I'm no different
I'm just another graduate
Starving for work however she can get it
I came home from a gig that made me hate music
I'm signing a lease that I can't afford with my friends
Ain't this the dream
To be floating a family
While they fight over money
I'd go broke to put an end to it to give them something else to do
Get me out of the middle
Haven't caught myself a break since I opened my eyes
Twenty-five years ago they called me beloved
And they spelled it all wrong
It's a beautiful sentiment
I've never felt less like it's true
For anyone that matters
So cut me slack I'm just trying to get back on my feet

Do the things I thought I'd have done by nineteen
I'm so hard on myself
Well I wonder if self-loathing's learned behavior
If so can I unlearn it too?
I tell everyone I love they're wonderful
They’re doing their best and I've never been prouder and I want to believe in me too
Maybe I could believe in me too

Future Teens remain the undisputed champions of writing indie-pop songs with depth, heart and sincerity.
“A couple of people have already messaged us asking for Amy’s handwriting of the words ‘Deliberately Alive’ to get tattoos… it’s pretty cool,” says co-s...
A more than welcome return from a band on the up.
