I Wish

from Getting Better by Gleaner

lyrics

There's a worn spot on the floor
Where my time is mostly spent
I'm slacking like a goddamn champ
Just game shows and watering the plants

How many "hi how how are you"s can I rattle off for $10?
I'm sure a lot, but check back in an hour
I'm on break until 3

I'm not adult enough
Even though I really need to be
Everything's getting harder
I think it's time for me to grow up
I think it's time to grow up

Thrift store skirts and big hair bows
I just want to look cute as hell
But so far it's not going very well
Nobody's gonna leave me alone

Oversize plaid button downs
And a cloud of good cologne
A tad bit of stifled conversation
This really isn't me

I'm not quite man enough
Even though I'm supposed to be
If that makes me a girl, then I guess I am
I wish I just wouldn't care
I just wish I wouldn't care
