"Act My Age" lyrics

"Act My Age"

Where I'm from you fall in love
You get a job and settle down
Where I'm from you go to church
Don't question what they talk about

Who you are at 22
Is everything you'll ever be
Growing up means giving up
Everybody's giving up on me

I bleach my hair and paint my nails
Most days I wake up in hotels
My favorite thing to drink is whiskey
I play guitar to pay my bills

All of my friends back home got married
While I'm still going on first dates
Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing
What does it mean to act my age?

What does it mean?
Where do I go?
Somebody tell me
I'm dying to know

Now I'm here in LA
And no one's tryna settle down
Some of us go to church
Doesn't mean we don't sleep around

Am I too rich to be this cheap?
Am I too old to feel this free?
Growing up means giving up
Everybody's giving up on me

I bleach my hair and paint my nails
Most days I wake up in hotels
My favorite thing to drink is whiskey
I play guitar to pay my bills

All of my friends back home got married
While I'm still going on first dates
Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing
What does it mean to act my age?

'Cause I bleach my hair and paint my nails
Most days I wake up in hotels
My favorite thing to drink is whiskey
I play guitar to pay my bills

All of my friends back home got married
While I'm still going on first dates
Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing
What does it mean to act my age?

What does it mean?
Where do I go?
Somebody, tell me
I'm dying to know
