"A 28 Year Overnight Success Story" lyrics
I tried
You did pretty well, considering
I turned 28, I'm a big man
Guess I missed the club, guess I missed my chance
I was younger once, now I'm older than
Someone that I used to look up to
And I think I might be
And I think I might be
And I think I might be
A 28 year love song
Just a 28 year old love song
Just a 28
Just a 28 year long love song
Just a 28
Seem like everybody's going, I wish 'em well
I've been treating every puddle like a wishing well
Used to list all the things that I wanted to be, but
Then I became me, and I think, yeah
I'm a really long love song
Just a 28 year long love song
This is where I come in, pick up where I left off
I could take off running, but, I'd rather hit that catwalk
I've been on some "me" shit, you've been on some "we" shit
Who the hell is "we" you speaking French? Well, C'est la vie then
Je t'aime bébé, now just say it back and mean it
Why you always keeping all these truths behind some secrets?
I've been doing too much, feel like Ryan Seacrest
I might go an hour on this beat just to delete it
Might think I'm conceited, might think I don't know shit
I just know my value and that number's getting so big
I could fit like all hats, I ain't doing no tricks
This shit isn't Tony Hawk underground, but I'm grounded
I might cop a Tesla, I feel like Elon Musk
Might be almost 30, but, I feel young as fuck
If it's mine I earned it, none of this was luck
But they're still gonna say that I'm just, yeah
A 28 year overnight success story
A 28 year overnight success
A 28 year overnight success story
A 28 year overnight...
And maybe I'm the person that you said I was
Another fucking leech inside your reservoir
I guess I'm just a fuck up, if you say so
I guess I'm just somebody on your payroll
I guess I'm just somebody you can push aside
I guess I'm just a petal to your pesticide
I guess I had to leave to finally realize
That all your lack of hunger feeds my appetite
And I don't want a bite, I want the whole slice
Wait, no, I take that back, I want the whole pie
I work too fucking hard to not be recognized
As someone that would give his all to say he tried
I've seen too many people not do anything
Just to turn around and ask you to give everything
I swear to God I almost did that
Just for somebody to tell me I ain't do enough
I guess I'm...
Just a 28 year overnight success story
A 28 year overnight success
A 28 year overnight success story
A 28 year overnight success
A 28 year overnight success
A 28 year overnight success story
You did pretty well, considering
I turned 28, I'm a big man
Guess I missed the club, guess I missed my chance
I was younger once, now I'm older than
Someone that I used to look up to
And I think I might be
And I think I might be
And I think I might be
A 28 year love song
Just a 28 year old love song
Just a 28
Just a 28 year long love song
Just a 28
Seem like everybody's going, I wish 'em well
I've been treating every puddle like a wishing well
Used to list all the things that I wanted to be, but
