Ah-ah
Ah-ah

Nauseous in the backseat of an Uber (oh-oh)
Tryna sort through all my baggage
But I'm back to back in traffic
Beg the driver: Can we get there sooner?
Shakes his head, asks my opinion
On the music that he's written (oh-oh)
I can point out every club
I've cried at before I turned eighteen (oh-oh)
The cost of living's getting high
(I'd trade my soul for some peace of mind)
(Mind)

I could change up my appearance, move away across the states
I'd get married to a stranger
That one day you'll probably hate
All my life I've wanted more
But the lows are getting real high
Well, wouldn't that be the life?
I would drink away my problems with some poison in a can
While my husband cheats on me
With someone he says is just a friend
The lack of self-awareness, I could only fantasize
Well, wouldn't that be the life?

What an ending for the hometown hero (hero)
Falling off the earth just because she couldn't stand it
To feel like an imposter at the local pizza parlor
Where my high school boyfriend's married with a kid
It's easy to romanticize big houses and outlet paradise
But every night I pray to die
Wouldn't be that hard to say goodbye

I could change up my appearance, move away across the states
I'd get married to a stranger
That one day you'll probably hate
All my life I've wanted more
But the lows are getting real high
Well, wouldn't that be the life?
I would drink away my problems with some poison in a can
While my husband cheats on me
With someone he says is just a friend
The lack of self-awareness, I could only fantasize
Well, wouldn't that be the life?

Wouldn't that be the life? (Ooh-ooh)
Wouldn't that be the life? (Ooh-ooh)
