Lyrics 2085 - AJR

(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)
(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)

If somebody told me, I'd die at 40
I wouldn't have spent my time in bed
Writin' my dumb songs, and my growin'-up songs
I should've just grown up instead

(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)

Now all of the interns are no longer interns
How long have I been out of town?
'Cause sometimes I wonder if I had kissed her
How different life would be right now

I smile when I cry to hide what I felt
"I'm doin' fine," speak for yourself
I should've just asked for help

Hey
It's 2085 and we're old as shit
Whatever
Hey
I'd hate to have to die 'fore I get my head together
Whatever

(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)

So finish your work now, it's gettin' warm out
If you got friends, don't let them leave
I turned 20-somethin', it didn't mean nothin'
'Cause not one of them were there to see

(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now)

And go tell your grandson to go tell his grandson
You don't have to try so hard, you know
'Cause I spent my whole life tryna be so liked
That only made 'em hate me more

Did I make you proud? Did I screw this up?
Sing with me loud, it's all that I've got
To know if I did or not
(Okay, okay)

Hey
It's 2085 and we're old as shit
Whatever
Hey
I'd hate to have to die 'fore I get my head together
Together, together
Whatever

(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now) whatever
(You work hard for now)
(Just now, just now) whatever

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take forever, you're not here for long
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Ah-ah-ah-ah

I wish I was me, whoever that is
I could just be and not give a shit
Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan
'Cause I don't know who the hell I am

I think it's too late to figure this out
If I could be me, I would've been it by now
Maybe I'm a stone, or big as my house
It looks like our time is runnin' out

So if this is me, then I'll do my best
I'll take all the shit, so you'll never have to
You can be you, and I'll be the rest
Yeah, maybe that's who the hell I am

Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't take forever, you're not here for long

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
But don't take forever, you're not here for long

Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
I gotta get better, I'm all that I've got
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
For two or three minutes, then I'm gone
