[Verse 1]
Being young is really easy to forget when you're 16
Paying mom and dad's rent, 16
With no other young friends, 16
So much weight on your chest

Being young is a pretty tough task when you're 16
Dropping out of your class, 16
Missing every school dance, 16
Putting family on your back

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I'm running out of breath
Some days I'm running out of time
But everyone I talk to you laughs and says
"They're both on your side"

So what's going on with my mind?

[Chorus]
I feel old as fuck for being 23, yeah
I feel old as fuck for being 23, no no no no no no no
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
Big love, big dreams sitting under me
I feel old as fuck for being 23, yeah

[Verse 2]
18 years old, I really thought I was going to hell
Had to binge all the sins, had to see for myself
I turned 20, I was back on my health
And it's funny 'cause the money started making itself

I hit 21, they say "Hey you're an adult now"
I'm like "What were those last five years about?"
I know it's only been a matter of time
But to me it really feels like a matter of life

[Chorus]
I feel old as fuck for being 23 (I feel old as fuck)
I feel old as fuck for being 23 (For being 23, yeah)
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
Big love, big dreams sitting under me
I feel old as fuck for being 23 (Yeah, no)

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I'm running out of breath
Some days I'm running out of time
But everyone I talk to you laughs and says
They're both on my side

I'm starting to think that they're right
But I can't help it
I still feel old as fuck

[Chorus]
I feel old as fuck for being 23
I feel old as fuck, I feel old as fuck
I feel old as fuck for being 23 (Yeah)
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
Big love, big dreams sitting under me
I feel old as fuck for being 23

I got the whole-ass world, I got the whole-ass world
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world, I got the whole-ass world

I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world, I got the whole-ass world (I got it, I got it, I got it!)

I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world, I got the whole-ass world

I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me
I got the whole-ass world sitting in front of me (It's all just a matter of time)
I got the whole-ass world, I got the whole-ass world
