about

If the title's at all confusing... This is a song about being in your 30s, which is not QUITE middle-life. There. Better?

I'm 35. I'm dissatisfied. This song happened.

lyrics

I know what it’s like
to find yourself in your 30s,
with a head full of worries
and a heart full of pain.
And nobody around
can even stand the sound
of you trying to explain
how sometimes being alone
can either feel like home
or feel like running away.
And the only out that you see
is something you couldn’t be
without being ashamed.

I’ve got faith and doubt in equal store.
God is an optimist.
But me, I’m not so sure.
You might say I’ve passed the cross before,
And each time I wanted more.
But when God opens a window,
That just means he closed the door.

This is what it’s like
to find yourself in your 30s,
with a head full of worries
and a heart full of pain.
And nobody around
can even stand the sound
of you trying to explain
how sometimes being alone
can either feel like home
or feel like running away.
And the only out that you see
is something you couldn’t be
without being ashamed.

I’m tired of rolling down this holy hill.
God’s timing is perfect
as long as there’s time to kill.
With a voice that’s small and still
and an emptiness to fill…
I know that God is able,
but does that mean he has the will?

This is what it’s like
to find yourself in your 30s,
with a head full of worries
and a heart full of pain.
And nobody around
can even stand the sound
of you trying to explain
how sometimes being alone
can either feel like home
or feel like running away.
And the only out that you see
is something you couldn’t be
without being ashamed.
