Get My Act Together Lyrics by The Aftergreens

A little sad... but kinda rad?

2018

[Verse 1]
The kids that I went to school with are all getting engaged
And I’m still having trouble getting out of bed everyday
And I’m always late for work, I never answer my phone
And I’m afraid that I am destined to die alone
I used to take pride in my intellect - I thought that I was brimming with knowledge
But now I see I’m far too dumb and poor to ever attend college
But I still have aspirations and I still love to dream!
And I hope I’m not as hopeless as I seem
[Chorus]
When I’m not brilliant and I’m not colorful - and I am hardly an artist But if there’s one thing that I know that I’m good at, it's complaining And with every second that I choose to waste, my life is fading
I need to stop sleeping in past noon
I hope I get my act together soon
[Verse 2]
When I was younger I dreamt of adulthood and I hope this isn’t it
Because now I’ve been around over twenty years and I still haven’t found a place I fit
It's hard to go out and meet new people when my anxiety makes me stay
But that's alright, I wouldn’t have anything to say anyway
But I’m blessed to have such fucking awesome friends who don’t get bothered a bit
But I’m afraid that one day they’ll have enough and stop putting up with my shit
Shit!
It doesn't surprise me that I’m this lonely when I’m not the person that I want to be
And yet, I criticize everyone around me
[Chorus]
When I'm not brilliant and I'm not colorful - and I am hardly an artist
But if there's one thing that I know that I'm good at, it's complaining
And with every second that I choose to waste, my life is fading
I need to stop sleeping in past noon
I hope I get my act together soon
I'm not brilliant and I'm not colorful - and I am hardly an artist
But if there's one thing that I know that I'm good at, it's complaining
And with every second that I choose to waste, my life is fading
I need to stop sleeping in past noon
I hope I get my act together soon
