Overdue Again

[Verse 1]
Rent due Monday
Gas tank low
Two jobs texting
Still too slow

Cart in the checkout
Card says "declined"
I laughed so hard
I scared the line

[Pre-Chorus]
I got coins in the cup holder
Bills in the seat
Your favorite excuse
Can't buy what I need

[Chorus]
Pay the bills, pay the bills
I'm still here
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Year by year
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Keep it together
Pay the bills, pay the bills
How much longer?

[Verse 2]
Fridge makes a hum
Full of good intentions
Coupons in my pocket
Late fee mentions

Boss says "be patient"
Landlord says "soon"
I stare at the oven
Like it owes me food

[Pre-Chorus]
I got change in the drawer now
Dust on the shelf
If this is adulting
I need help

[Chorus]
Pay the bills, pay the bills
I'm still here
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Year by year
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Keep it together
Pay the bills, pay the bills
How much longer?

[Bridge]
Cut the lights down
Count it again
One more week
Then back to ten
I want a life
Not just a screen
Not just a balance
With a mean machine

[Final Chorus]
Pay the bills, pay the bills
I'm still here
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Year by year
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Keep it together
Pay the bills, pay the bills
We'll get through the weather

Pay the bills, pay the bills
I'm still here
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Year by year
Pay the bills, pay the bills
Keep it together
Pay the bills, pay the bills
How much longer?
