Austin Gordon - Twenty-Something Lyrics

So here we are in the amber of the moment
Some twenty-something stuck in youth stolen
This flickering gloom can't be golden when it's this washed up

It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no...

I want to be a household name
A year's worth of writing that takes a decade to explain
I want to be your pain
But I'll be here if you can't stay
If I change my method
And let the words come first
Then better explained would be the guilt and the hurt
And that's what you deserve
It's what you all deserve

But I know it's no use
It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no...

It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no...

Everyone's getting married and starting families
And I'm here wondering what the worth of my songs are going to be
Maybe if I wrote more
Slept less at night
Maybe then there will be something worth remembering me by

So just rewrite
Just rewrite

It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no use
It's just no...

And I can only give you what I have earned
'Cause this is love and how it's returned
And if these growing pains are from my bones breaking
Then nothing is forever
And I'll just keep faking
