AJR - 2085 lyrics

If somebody told me i'd die at forty
I wouldn't have spent my time in bed
Writing my dumb songs
And my growing-up songs
I should've just grown up instead

Now, all of the interns
Are no longer interns
How long have I been out of town
'Cause sometimes I wonder
If I had kissed her
How different life would be right now

I smile when I cry to hide what I felt
I'm doing fine speak for yourself
I should have just asked for help

Hey, it's 2085, and we're old as shit
Whatever hey, I'd hate to have to die
'fore I get my head together, whatever

So finish your work now
It's getting warm out
If you got friends, don't let them leave
I turned twenty-something
It didn't mean nothing
'Cause not one of them were there to see

And go tell your grandson to
Go tell his grandson
You don't have to try so hard, you know
'Cause, I spent my whole life
Tryna be so liked
That only made 'em hate me more

Did I make you proud? Did I screw this up?
Sing with me loud it's all that I've got
To know if I did or not

Hey, it's 2085, and we're old as shit
Whatever hey, I'd hate to have to die
'fore I get my head
Together, together, together, whatever
Whatever whatever

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
You gotta get better
You're all that I've got
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Don't take forever, you're not here for long
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ah ah ah ah
You gotta get better
You're all that I've got

I wish I was me whoever that is
I could just be and not give a shit
Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan
'Cause, I don't know who the hell I am

I think it's too late to figure this out
If I could be me i would have been it by now
Maybe I'm a stone or big as my house
It looks like our time is running out

So, if this is me then I'll do my best
I'll take all the shit so you never have to
You can be you and I'll be the rest
Yeah, maybe that's who the hell I am

Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
You gotta get better
You're all that I've got
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Don't take forever, you're not here for long
Da da da da, da da da da
You gotta get better
You're all that I've got
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Don't take forever, you're not here for long

Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm
I gotta get better, I'm all that I've got

Hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm
For two or three minutes, then I'm gone
