Lyrics

This Time

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Waved goodbye to all of or your friends when you made it big mhmm
Got a big ol' desk and a door with your name engraved on it
You're never satisfied unless you're chomping at the bit (oh)
You've got the keys to a penthouse suite with an ice cold bed in it

When you're least expecting it maybe somewhere down the line
Life will catch up to you sometime
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Got a gold wristwatch and stocks in biofuel ooh
Yeah you're making it rain but the flood's gonna soak it through
That dry champagne can leave a bitter taste
Oh when you're back in your college digs
Eating Macaroni off a paper plate

When you're least expecting it maybe somewhere down the line
Life will catch up to you sometime
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh yeah)

When it's all plain sailing
When your feet don't touch the ground
That's when your life comes back around yeah

So careful when you climb the ladder
'Cause you don't know how high it goes
It's lonely at the top that's how the saying goes

Lost your trust fund and that trophy wife mhmm
Her smile never hid the fact she wanted much more out of life
And everyone that you chewed up to feed your appetite (appetite)

Oh safe to say you're a castaway in your lonely paradise
I bet you weren't expecting it but now it's the end of the line
Life has caught up to you this time, yeah

Woah life has caught up to you this time
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh life has caught up to you this time yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Woah life has caught up to you this time
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh life has caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up to you
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh life has caught up to you this time
