33 Lyrics by Marika Hackman
I was seventeen I didn’t know the meaning of the passage of time
(Keep pushing)
All my friends were moving to the cities for the time of their lives
(Keep pushing)
On weekends we would touch each other’s skin like we were made of clay
(Keep pushing)
And stay up pulling threads until we ripped apart the break of the day
(Keep pushing)
Life was so beautiful
We were holding all the dice
And we threw them all
And at times it was dark, I know
But in the absence of the light
You can feel the glow
Suddenly I’m 33 and everybody’s having a kid
(Keep pushing)
And I can’t stop thinking about the things I want to do and I never did
(Keep pushing)
And I’m terrified we’re losing time and scared of how much more is to come
(Keep pushing)
And now looking in the mirror feels like looking at the sun after one
(Keep pushing)
Oh, but life is so beautiful
When you hold it extra tight
And you let it go
And at times it gets dark, I know
But in the absence of the light
You can feel the glow
I’m pushing, I’m
