Young Life Crisis (Song)

## Track Listing

**Young Life Crisis** is the first track from Young Life Crisis. The track was released alongside the EP.

## Background & Composition

When talking bout this song in an interview with ThomasBleach UPSAHL said: *"What’s really interesting is that it was actually the last song I wrote for the EP. I had the other four songs already picked out, and I just needed the opening track that would tie everything I was trying to say together. I knew I really wanted a song that was almost a stream of consciousness where I was just listing off all my issues.*

*Right before the session on Zoom, I was listing off these things that ended up becoming the first verse, and when I jumped on Zoom with this producer dwilly I told him the idea, and he was like “it sounds like you’re having a young life crisis” and I was just like “oh my god! That is totally what this whole EP is!”. It was as if all the clouds just parted and everything became so clear. So that song ended up giving me the clarity of what this whole EP was, as I realised it was really me narrating my young life crisis."*

## Lyrics

* Final
* Studio Stripped Version

**[Verse 1]**
Meltdown on my best friend's couch
Lines on the table and boredom in my mouth
Life's gettin' fatal, I think I'm runnin' out
I get dramatic when I'm drunk but don't sympathize

**[Verse 2]**
Still in love with my ex
Speaking of, guess I should probably send him a text
Wish that I wasn't always thinkin' 'bout sex (Sex)
I'm problematic when I'm drunk but don't sympathize

[Pre-Chorus]
Grab me like, "Hey, what's up?"
Ask me what's in my cup

**[Chorus]**
It's what they call the young life crisis, pour it on ice
I take it down with problems and pride
A dash of disappointment, little bit of lime
Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice
Young life crisis, lovin' the taste
Hurts so good it's numbin' my brain
Dash of disappointment, little bit of lime
Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice

**[Verse 3]**
Now I'm cryin' up a river on the bathroom floor
And a random bitch said, "I don't know what's bangin' on the door"
So I walk out with my head high like I'm Jesus Christ
But it's okay, I'll tell you I'm fine but to tell the truth, I'm losin' my mind
I'm going insane, so don't even try to fix me
I'm not broken, I’m just broke, alone, and sippin' on a

**[Chorus]**
Young life crisis, pour it on ice
I take it down with problems and pride
A dash of disappointment, little bit of lime
Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice
Young life crisis, lovin' the taste
Hurts so good it's numbin' my brain
Dash of disappointment, little bit of lime
Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice, yeah

**[Post-Chorus]**
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Raise that glass to pleasure and pain
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Young life crisis, lovin' the taste
Young life crisis, lovin' the taste (Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
Hurts so good it's numbin' my brain
Dash of disappointment, little bit of lime (Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na)

Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice (Cool)
