  • I sit in parks, it breaks my heart 'cause I see
    Just how far I am from the things that I want
    Dad brought the picnic, mom brought the sunscreen
    Two kids are laughing and crying on red swings
    We look about the same age, but we don't have same Saturdays

    Did I miss it? By now, is it
    A lucid dream? Is it my fault
    For chasing things? A body clock
    Doesn't wait for, I did the damn tour
    It's what I wanted, what I got
    I spun around and then I stopped
    And wonder if I missed the mark

    So I sit in parks, sunglasses dark and I
    Hit the vape, hallucinate, a nursery with Noah's Ark
    They lay on a blanket and goddamit he loves her
    I wonder if she wants my freedom like I wanna be a mother
    But Rolling Stone says I'm on the right road
    So I refill my Lexapro, thinkin'

    Did I miss it? By now, is it
    A lucid dream? Is it my fault
    For chasing things? A body clock
    Doesn't wait for, I did the damn tour
    It's what I wanted, what I got
    I spun around and then I stopped
    And wonder if I missed the mark

    Mm-mm
    Mm-mm

    So I sit in parks checkin' bench marks
    Tarryn's due in June, the album's due in March Writer/s: Kelsea Ballerini
