Parisa - Stages Lyrics

In life we move through stages
Comparing all our pages
Priorities keep changing
While we all try'na get by
Seven years old and the world is at your feet
You wanna be an astronaut or a ballerina
And all the options in between
You can be anything you wanna be
Then puberty hits and we're counting up the teens
They're asking you seriously, tell me what you wanna be
No pressure, but you need you to know
Same old lecture
Let me be a kid
Don't know what "adulting" is
I don't wanna grow up yet
No
In life we move through stages
Comparing all our pages
Priorities keep changing
While we all try'na get by
We pick a dream and chase it
And hope someday we make it
As far as we can take it
We all try'na get by
Now you graduated and you're hitting twenty three
No job and your bank account's looking pretty bleak but
You promised you would keep your chin up
Then in walks the jealousy
Scrolling through Instagram with the gritted teeth
Thinking "everyone else has got it figured out but me"
Don't measure
Comparisons aren't clever
Own your own identity
Leave it to your graft
We're all on a different path
There's no test for you to pass
No
In life we move through stages
Comparing all our pages
Priorities keep changing
While we all try'na get by
We pick a dream and chase it
And hope someday we make it
As far as we can take it
We all try'na get
We all try'na get by
Keep on grinding
Until we find what we like
In the meantime
We all try'na get by
We spend too much time working
We're trying to make it perfect
But really we're still learning
How we're gonna get by
We're scared life's moving too quick
We haven't made our mark yet
You're not alone, believe this
Cos we're all try'na get by
