Intro
One, two – cash me out!
Born broke, lights go out.
Blink once, you’re in the race,
Everybody’s buying space.
Chorus
Everything costs more than yesterday!
More to lose, more to pay!
Cheap dreams turn into bills,
Highs wear off, but the debt line kills.
Every year it’s something different,
Every want becomes a commitment.
Funny how the price keeps climbing—
That’s the price… the price of living!
Verse
Ten bucks, full tank, Friday night,
Nothing but time and city lights.
Beat-up shoes, beat-up car,
Thought forever wasn’t very far.
No plans, no stress, no fear,
Didn’t know the tab was getting near.
Growing up was free… until it wasn’t.
Verse
Rent’s due, phone rings, overtime,
Running out of money, running out of time.
New house, new debt, new goals,
Trading little pieces of our souls.
Every raise gets swallowed whole,
Every finish starts another road.
Work hard, fall behind—
Welcome to the daily grind.
Pre-Chorus
Every candle, every cake,
Every choice, another stake.
The higher up you’re trying to climb,
The more they’re charging for your time.
Chorus
Everything costs more than yesterday!
More to lose, more to pay!
Cheap dreams turn into bills,
Highs wear off, but the debt line kills.
Every year it’s something different,
Every want becomes a commitment.
Funny how the price keeps climbing—
That’s the price… the price of living!
Verse
Gray hair, slow dance, front porch swing,
Turns out you don’t need everything.
Less to chase, less to prove,
Funny what you’re willing to lose.
The things we fought to call our own
Can’t compare to coming home.
Spent a lifetime buying more…
Just to find what mattered before.
Bridge
No receipt for wasted years,
No refund for the blood and tears.
Stack it high, watch it fall—
Love’s the only thing worth it all!
The older we get, the lighter we live,
Nothing left but ourselves to give!
Chorus
Everything costs more than yesterday!
Every heartbeat, every payday!
Pocket change to family names,
Different rules, same old game.
Spend your youth, spend your pride,
Spend your whole damn life alive!
Funny how the ending’s fitting—
Nothing beats the price of living!
Outro
Started cheap… ended wise.
Turns out peace don’t come with a price.
Everything changes, everything’s fleetiing
That’s the cost… of living.
