Lyrics

know that you’re not alone

I'm not gettin' any younger
The years are catchin' up on me
I'm almost 23, mmm
I quit my job, it wasn't healthy
I'm not where I wanna be
Where I wanna be

But therapy has kinda helped me
Learn that it's okay not to be okay

Thought I'd be flyin' by now
But I feel so glued to the ground
I look around, everybody's in the same boat
So let go and know that you're not alone
Thought I'd have it all figured out
Feels like my world's upside down
When nothin' feels like home
It's good to know, know that you're not alone

I saw my friends the other day
Thеy say they feel the same way
It seems thеy're stuck in the same place as me
Mama said it's time for me to get out the house
But that's the thing with time, it doesn't work like that
It moves when it's ready to

So it's okay not to be okay

Thought I'd be flyin' by now
But I feel so glued to the ground
I look around, everybody's in the same boat
So let go and know that you're not alone
Thought I'd have it all figured out
Feels like my world's upside down
When nothin' feels like home
It's good to know, know that you're not alone

I'm not gettin' any younger
Know that you're not alone
I'm not gettin' any younger
Know that you're not alone
I'm not gettin' any younger
Know that you're not alone
When nothin' feels like home
It's good to know, know that you're not alone

Thought I'd be flyin' by now
But I feel so glued to the ground
I look around, everybody's in the same boat
So let go and know that you're not alone
Thought I'd have it all figured out
But feels like my world's upside down
When nothin' feels like home
It's good to know, know that you're not alone
