Outro to my twenties, how can that be
With a life on fire, burning quickly
I can't slow down, the floor is lava
Don't touch the ground
I thought I could win at life
With a house and a job and a beautiful wife
But it gets me down
A bird in a cage never leaves the ground
Oh ohhh, woah! So it goes
Checking reality, waiting on a dream
Oh ohhh, woah! So it goes
Checking reality, waiting on a dream
Drug-store twelve pack
Fighting off a heart attack
Same six songs on the radio
I know the words
I know them all and how they go
Grilled cheese and a bottle of whiskey
Hold my hand 'cause I'm getting frisky
It gets me down
A bird in a cage never makes a sound
Oh ohhh, woah! So it goes
Checking reality, waiting on a dream
Oh ohhh, woah! So it goes
Checking reality, waiting on a dream
I'll be waiting for my time to come
Stop procrastinating and jumping the gun
Set me back, let me go
Reality check, your time has come
Oh ohhh, woah! So it goes
Checking reality, waiting on a dream
Oh ohhh, woah! So it goes
Checking reality, waiting on a dream
