2085 lyrics
by AJR
[Intro]
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
[Verse 1]
If somebody told me I'd die at forty
I wouldn'ta spent my time in bed
Writin' my dumb songs and my growin'-up songs
I shoulda just grown up instead
[Refrain]
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
[Verse 2]
Now all of the interns are no longer interns
How long have I been outta town?
'Cause sometimes I wonder if I had kissed her
How different life would be right now
[Pre-Chorus]
I smile when I cry to hide what I felt
"I'm doin' fine," speak for yourself
I shoulda just asked for help
[Chorus]
Hey
It's 2085 and we're old as sh*t
Whatever
Hey
I'd hate to have to die 'fore I gеt my head
Together, whatеver
[Post-Chorus]
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
[Verse 3]
So finish your work now, it's gettin' warm out
If you got friends, don't let them leave
I turned twenty-somethin', it didn't mean nothin'
'Cause not one of them were there to see
[Refrain]
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
[Verse 4]
And go tell your grandson to go tell his grandson
You don't have to try so hard, ya know
'Cause I spent my whole life tryna be so liked
That only made 'em hate me more
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I make you proud? Did I screw this up?
Sing with me loud, it's all that I've got
To know if I did or not (Okay, okay)
[Chorus]
(Hey, hey) Hey
It's 2085 and we're old as sh*t
Whatever
Hey
I'd hate to have to die 'fore I get my head
Together, together, together, whatever
[Post-Chorus]
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
Whatever
(You work hard for now, just now, just now)
Whatever
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take forever, you're not here for long
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 5]
I wish I was me, whoever that is
I could just be and not give a sh*t
Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan
'Cause I don't know who the hell I am
[Verse 6]
I think it's too late to figure this out
If I could be me, I would've been it by now
Maybe I'm a stone or big as my house
It looks like our time is runnin' out
[Verse 7]
So if this is me, then I'll do my best
I'll take all the sh*t so you'll never have to
You can be you, and I'll be the rest
Yeah, maybe that's who the hell I am
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't take forever, you're not here for long
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
You gotta get better, you're all that I've got
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
But don't take forever, you're not here for long
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
I gotta get better, I'm all that I've got
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
For two or three minutes, then I'm gone
