While Im 30 by Zac Jr Lyrics
These dudes were in their youth, woah oh
They were, born just before me
And I don't know why, they're better than I
They've got shows on the T.V
I guess you could say it bleeds, yeah
My jealous heart has convinced me
And I don't know why, though I try
I don't have the style to succeed me
I paid the piper and paid the price
Now it's all gone away
And they lied
I want to achieve while I'm 30
We could play a different game, woah oh
Pretend I'm still in my twenties
And dream of a life, where I'll write
A screenplay, a movie
And join a local comedy troupe, after school
And make love, so tender
Fall in love, before I run out of time
To pay the piper and pay the price
Before it's all gone away
And they lied
I can't achieve while I'm 30
You have become my sensai
You're my dream, suddenly
Just tell me
That I can achieve while I'm 30
I want to be, I want to be, like you
(just like you)
And if I wait here any longer
I'll be gone, nothing left to want
I want to live a fantasy
The days feel so wrong
Live in the scenes of a lie
Come and help me feel differently
The dudes were 23, woah
And they were cooler than I could be
A college degree, smoking weed
An apartment in the city
I'd make a web series, woah oh
And I'd get friends to assist me
Blow up over night, what a sight
I'm on my way to an Emmy
But!
I paid the piper and paid the price
Now it's all gone away
And they lied
I want to achieve while I'm 30
It's all far too late for me, woah oh
But you can be all you want to be
Keep kissing the guys
You'll be fine
And don't turn down the parties
You may not be a jazz artiste
In your sleep
But things that you'll see
I wouldn't trade
If it had happened to me
Don't pay the piper and pay the price
Or it's all gone away
Cause they lie
You can't achieve while you're 30
Living can become so lonely
When you're your only company
It's a lie
I can't achieve while I'm 30
I paid the piper and paid the price
Now it's all gone away
And they lied
I want to achieve while I'm 30
Living can become so lonely
Get some friends and don't listen to me
You could try
You could achieve while your 30
But I paid the piper and paid the price
Now it's all gone away
I'll still try
I want to achieve while I'm 30
Living can become so lonely
I don't want to make it to 40
I don't know why
I want to achieve while I'm 30
They were, born just before me
And I don't know why, they're better than I
They've got shows on the T.V
I guess you could say it bleeds, yeah
My jealous heart has convinced me
And I don't know why, though I try
I don't have the style to succeed me
I paid the piper and paid the price
Now it's all gone away
And they lied
I want to achieve while I'm 30
We could play a different game, woah oh
Pretend I'm still in my twenties
And dream of a life, where I'll write

I'll still try

I don't know why
I want to achieve while I'm 30
