"Making It Up" lyrics

Found a picture of me and dad
I was holding my first guitar
Sent it to him and he told me, Jeff
I'm the same age as you are, now

I remember looking up to him
He knew everything about everything
Now I wonder if he was just as scared as I am

Always thought I'd have it all together
Turning 24 and lost as ever

Making it up as I grow up
As I go on
How do I know when it's enough
To build a life on
There's no stars to follow so I'm
Making it up as I grow up
As I go on

I keep saying in the next 5 years
I'll be healthy and I'll get more sleep
What I'm doing here will be more clear
I'll be ok with people looking up to me

I keep waking up at 3 am
Freakin' out about what could happen
And I wonder, is everyone as scared as I am

Always thought I'd have it all together
29 and I am lost as ever

Making it up as I grow up
As I go on
How do I know when it's enough
To build a life on
There's no stars to follow so I'm
Making it up as I grow up
As I go on
(How do I know)
As I go on
Yeah, how do I, how do I, how do I
As I go on
As I go no, yeah

Found a picture of me and dad
I was holding my first guitar
I sent it to him and he told me Jeff
When I was your age, I was just...

Making it up as I grow up
As I go on
How do I know when it's enough
To build a life on
There's no stars to follow so I'm
Making it up as I grow up
As I go on
As I, as I go on
Oh yeah yeah yeah
As I go on...
