[Verse 1]
Saw my friend post a school reunion
Thought it was their older cousin
Crow’s feet hiding in a selfie smile
Wait
That’s us now
Same jokes
New lower back pain
We still talk like we’re nineteen
Plan big dreams
Take tiny trains
[Chorus]
It’s weird being the same age as old people
Buying vitamins and punk show tickets in one day
Half group chat having kids
Half sleeping on the floor
We’re not young
Not done
Just creaking a little more
(It’s weird, it’s weird)
Being the same age as old people
[Verse 2]
Parents call me for directions
I call them about my rent
They ask how retirement’s looking
I laugh and change the subject again
Got a plant and kept it living
Felt like winning some grand prize
Still eat cereal for dinner
Still surprised by my own eyes
[Chorus]
It’s weird being the same age as old people
Talking mortgages then texting “you up?” at 2 a.m
One knee in the grown world
One foot out the door
We’re not young
Not done
Just creaking a little more
(It’s strange, it’s strange)
Being the same age as old people
[Bridge]
Dress shirt on my concert tee (oh yeah)
Smile lines in my ID
I say “kids these days”
Then remember that was me
I’m the adult in the room
Checking locks
Checking news
Still feel too small
For these big grown-up shoes
[Chorus]
It’s weird being the same age as old people
Booking dentist dates and flights to go see bands
Halfway to whatever
Guessing as we go
We’re not young
Not done
Just learning to grow old slow
(It’s weird, it’s weird)
Being the same age as old people
