Tired Eyes
Adler Xcvi Lyrics

Back when I was seventeen
At the age of seventeen, a younger version of me was very open with my feelings

I wore my heart out on my sleeve
I was vulnerable and revealing with my emotions and didn't hold anything back

Now I'm tripping off the memories
I'm reminiscing about the past and it feels like a hallucinogenic trip

When we ain't got no place to be
We had a carefree life and nowhere important to go

We were racing in our shitty cars
We were driving recklessly in cheap cars

Blasting the radio up and down the boulevard
We were playing loud music while cruising the roads

It didn't matter what we had
We were uninterested in material possessions and didn't care about them

We didn't give a fuck about who we were
Our identities didn't matter to us and we didn't care about anything but having fun

Now your Moving on to better things
You've made progress in your life and are moving onto more successful ventures

Got a nine-to-five job and a college degree
You have a respectable job and a higher education

Guess you bought into the fallacies
You've fallen for misconceptions and falsehoods

Girl I've got to ask you
I need to know from you

Whatever happened to the dreams we dreamt up
What became of the dreams we once shared?

Laying in the grass looking at the stars
We used to lie in the grass and stargaze together

We didn't give a fuck about who we were
Our identities didn't matter to us and we didn't care about anything but having fun

Fall in love at the club every night
Finding love at nightclubs repeatedly

Love the way you watch me with those tired eyes
I adore the way your exhausted eyes look at me

Take me home, home, home for the night
Take me to your home for the night

Make everything alright
Improve our current situation and make things better

Back when I was twenty-three
At the age of twenty-three, a younger version of me had different plans

I got a job just ain't for me
I have employment, but it doesn't suit me

And they always singing ooh, ooh
Popular songs with repetitive vocals that are commonly played

Same song on the radio fifteen times a day
The same tune played excessively on multiple occasions in a single day

Always messing with my attitude
It always has an impact on my mood

'Cause they know that I don't give a damn about the biz
Because they're aware I don't care about the industry/business

But I've got a hundred bills to pay
I have many expenses to cover with my salary

And it's just the way it is
That's just how life is

Now I'm Getting tired of the working scene
I'm becoming exhausted with my job

Got a nine-to-five job and college degree
I have a typical job and a higher education

Now I'm stressing bout reality
I'm anxious about my current position in life

Girl I've got to tell you
I need to inform you

I wanna be there when you wake up hungover
I want to be present the morning after a heavy drinking night

Saturday nights ain't never been sober
Saturday nights were always filled with heavy drinking and lack of sobriety

Would've thought life would have been a bit bolder
I would have anticipated a more adventurous lifestyle

Fall in love at the club every night
Finding love at nightclubs repeatedly

Love the way you watch me with those tired eyes
I adore the way your exhausted eyes look at me

Take me home, home, home for the night
Take me to your home for the night

Make everything alright
Improve our current situation and make things better
