Lyrics
Verse 1
Alarm at seven
Snooze hits back
Cold flat
Cracked mug
Council tax on the mat
Mum’s on WhatsApp
Typing
Then deletes
“I’m fine
Just busy”
Same lie every week
Chorus
This is grown life
Innit
Payday gone in a minute
Little laugh
Little cry in the kitchen light
Scroll
Sigh
Carry on
We’ll be alright
Yeah this grown life’s mad
Kinda good
Kinda sad
Still we joke
Still we moan through a Friday night
Takeaways
Bills
And we’re still alright (still alright)
Verse 2
Group chat poppin’
“No one’s out?”
Everyone tired
Everyone skint now
Kettle on simmer
Dreams on hold
Bags under eyes
But the jokes still gold (yeah)
Chorus
This is grown life
Innit
Payday gone in a minute
Little laugh
Little cry in the kitchen light
Scroll
Sigh
Carry on
We’ll be alright
Yeah this grown life’s mad
Kinda good
Kinda sad
Still we joke
Still we moan through a Friday night
Takeaways
Bills
And we’re still alright (still alright)
Bridge
We used to chase
Now we just cope
But in these small things
I still feel hope
Chorus
This is grown life
Innit
Payday gone in a minute
Little laugh
Little cry in the kitchen light
Scroll
Sigh
Carry on
We’ll be alright
Yeah this grown life’s mad
Kinda good
Kinda sad
Still we joke
Still we moan through a Friday night
Takeaways
Bills
And we’re still alright (still alright)
