Lyrics AdultTing - Triple O

Bonnie Ware, in her book Regrets of the Dying, stated that every
Interviewee she spoke to, every single person on their deathbed
Said, "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself"
Use the deathbed test
If you were told that today, this very second
Was your last on Earth, would you be satisfied?
If not, it's your job to fix that

This adulting (You mean the one you didn't sign up for?)
Yeah (It's a long ting)
I know, tired of chasing shadows
Younger me wants to be me now, meanwhile
I wanna be stress-free like a child
Without the senile detail
When all seems well, well
This adulting (You mean the one you didn't sign up for?)
Yeah (It's a long ting)
I know, tired of chasing shadows
Younger me wants to be me now, meanwhile
I wanna be stress-free like a child
Without the senile detail
When all seems well, well

I remember young days when days were simple, GCSE times
I be looking for the rewind, flashback
Cash was a lot less back then, so was stress
My distress was whether or not The
Rock could survive Stunner at Mania 17
It was Pythagoras or 3:16s
It was Plasto, Green Gate Gang with the team
With the Evisu jeans, boot cuts with a new cut
A cut above in East Ham, a level one trim
Kids on the wall with a pattern on their back
If I came back with that, then I'm patterning a slap
Nigerian daddy, ain't never none of that
Firstborn, two youngers, so I set the example
But you see me, I just wanted to rave
I just wanted to play, take me back to those days
Neighbours home and away
Canning Town, real EastEnders
Skinny and slender, back before I did weights
Back then when I thought God was good
These days, now I know God is great
Bill after bill after bill to pay
That's all I hear nowadays
Kill after kill after kill in Umar ways
Leaving the block with pain
I can't afford it (I can't afford it)
Vision distorted (Vision distorted)
Look at this poor kid
Looking back like we all did
Wondering what we ordered
Not what we ordered
I didn't sign up for this (No)
Back when I was a kid (Girl)
I wanted to be the age that I am now
Didn't think it'd be like this, oh
Well, we're here now
Make the most of it (Most of it)
I'm here now
So I made the most of it

Broken time and time
Steady, you can wait and see
Second you will never get back
When I know that time won't wait for me
Broken time and time
Steady, you can wait and see
Second you will never get back
When I know that time won't wait for me

This adulting (You mean the one you didn't sign up for?)
Yeah (It's a long ting)
I know, tired of chasing shadows
Younger me wants to be me now, meanwhile
I wanna be stress-free like a child
Without the senile detail
When all seems well, well
This adulting (You mean the one you didn't sign up for?)
Yeah (It's a long ting)
I know, tired of chasing shadows
Younger me wants to be me now, meanwhile
I wanna be stress-free like a child
Without the senile detail
When all seems well, well

Things I didn't know then, but I do know now
I can see you come back 'round
Twenty friends can't stay together for twenty years
Daddy said to me when I was in year six, smile upside down
I wanted to go to Bond's, but he said no
Still went with the mandem, where are they now? Where are they now?
You love women now way too much
Young me, control that lust
Kevin's heart now, Kevin little
Every day, so tempted to touch
Insecure to seek love (Love)
Them man struggle with the trust (Trust)
That night when you slipped up and the news came
Deep down, you wanted to run, you were so scared

Now I'm okay
Learned from every one of my mistakes
No regrets, no looking back to the past
That God came and forgave, did it with grace
Back to the future, what can I say?
Other than this, God, you were so great
Washed my past with the bloodiest pain
Washed my past with the bloodiest
Now I'm okay
Learned from every one of my mistakes
No regrets, no looking back to the past
That God came and forgave, did it with grace
Back to the future, what can I say?
Other than this, God, you were so great
Washed my past with the bloodiest pain
Washed my past with the bloodiest

You have to forgive yourself for any mistakes that you've made
If any regret has been from your own agency, stemmed from your
Own decisions, there is nothing to stop you from amending it
Call up that friend you've been thinking of
Lately, haven't spoken to them in decades
If you didn't get enough time with your
Kids growing up, it's stopping you now
So where does that leave us?
The road in front of you
