- ‘older’ from the debut album night, love you. out now: NIGHTLY.lnk.to...
this and time online are by far the most raw and personal songs on the record. when I got the idea for this song, I just wrote tons of lines in my phone and on my laptop over the course of the weekend. by sunday I had a couple pages of thoughts sifted through to create the verses. it was honestly very hard to narrow it all down. feel like I could have easily made 3 songs with everything that I had written.

lyrics:
woke up in the same clothes i wore yesterday
my head is pounding now, i lost my phone again
i found a gray hair and i thought about
when my dad was my age he was married by now
and sometimes i wonder how things would turn out
if i stayed in school, never left my home town
i don't do the things i'm supposed to
over think and under focus
emotional rollercoaster
keep it all on my shoulders
hoping no one will notice
i'm no good at getting older
last year i almost threw in the towel
i was tired of suits telling me what to write about
yeah but then i remembered the girl from rhode island
who said that our music saved her life
and i'm not a saint but i still talk to jesus
i hope he knows that i really mean it
i don't do the things i'm supposed to
over think and under focus
emotional rollercoaster
keep it all on my shoulders
hoping no one will notice
i'm no good at getting older
i called my dad one night when i was a wreck
he said, "at your age, i was a mess so don't
let it all weigh down on your shoulders
things will work out the way they're supposed to
it's just part of getting older.”

Thank you nightly. This song speaks to me so much. I always thought that going through adulthood is gonna be fun and all that. You meet people, you explore things, but as I reached 20's, I was smacked by the reality of life. Keep on chasing after something, ending frustrated. Rushing on things, then slowly loosing confidence, but life goes on, I guess.
Nightly, thank you so much. You have no idea how much your music means to me and so many others. I've been so lost, confused and frustrated lately. This track was everything I needed right now.
The girl from Rhode Island must be incredibly happy to know you included her story in this song. ♡
This made me cry on the way home yesterday. Just wow. Incredible songwriting and melody.
Got the chills. Love this song.
Thank you for this song. Never had a song that mirrored exactly the battle I have been facing with adulthood.
I’m 63, retired, on the back 9 of life and this hit me like a ton of bricks. A good song is universally relevant. This fits that.
Stay strong. We’re all just trying to figure out what to do. Do the right thing, no matter how hard.
Favorite song, I seriously can't stop listening to this.
definitely my fave off the album ❤
You’re amazing! This song is regularly on repeat. When you sing about how your Dad was married when he was your age and in the ending when he tells you it’s okay to be a mess. It reminds me of conversations I’ve had with my Dad and he reminds me that nobody has it together at any age although it may seem like some ppl do. This song and Black Coffee are my absolute favorite songs from y’all!!
This song is heavenly. I'm shocked that it's so underated.
thank you so much
On loop. Favourite one in the Album.
I can relate to your music so much. Please never stop creating ❤️
Woke up in the same clothes I wore yesterday
My head is pounding now, I lost my phone again
And I found her gray hair and I thought about
When my dad was my age, he was married by now
And sometimes I wonder how things would turn out
If I stayed in school, never left my home town
I don't do the things I'm supposed to
Overthinking, underfocused
Emotional rollercoaster
Keep it all on my shoulders
Hoping no one will notice
I'm no good at getting older
Last year I almost threw in the towel
I was tired of suits telling me what to write about
Yeah, but then I remembered the girl from Rhode Island
That said that our music saved her life and
I'm not a saint but I still talk to Jesus
I hope he knows that I really mean it
I don't do the things I'm supposed to
Overthinking, underfocused
Emotional rollercoaster
Keep it all on my shoulders
Hoping no one will notice
I'm no good at getting older
I called my dad one night when I was a wreck
He said, at your age, I was a mess
So don't let it all weigh down on your shoulders
Things will work out the way they're supposed to
It's just part of getting older
thank you for this one
Glad I came across this
Awesome xxx
Underrated
So underated
✌🏾
In same category as. The gas station one kinda.
0 dislikes, just how it should be
Does anyone know what's being said in that dialogue beginning @ 02:35? Prior to the final chorus there's this regular conversation in the outro with a male and (primarily) female voice. Doesn't show up in the lyrics ☹
