Lyrics

I used to believe Id be on top of the world by 23
But i'm still counting the times ive changes my degree
Got a job that only pays me minimum wage
So i live in my parents basement from day to day

Time wont stop and I cant catch up
Feeling like i cant grow up
Always thought i could self start
I guess i'm a girl who got herself caught in a failure to launch

Dreamt i could make it around the world before i'm dead
But i didnt realize living would come with so much debt
Stuck in between the possibilities and stress
This world makes it hard to leave the nest

Time wont stop and I cant catch up
Feeling like i cant grow up
Always thought i could self start
I guess i'm a girl who got herself caught in a failure to launch

Cant blast off
I dont know how
12 year old me would say reach for the clouds
And dont look down

Time wont stop and I cant catch up
Feeling like i cant grow up
Always thought i could self start
I guess i'm a girl who got herself caught in a failure to launch

Gotta blast off
And I cant blast off
It's a failure, a failure to launch
It's a failure to launch
