lyrics

turning 22 i didn't think it would be anything new
turning 23 made me realize i'm not where i want to be
when i'm 24 i can just hope that my life won't be such a bore.

i promised myself that i wouldn't marry before 23
i promised myself that i needed to figure out who i wanted to be

quarter life crisis
didn't know you existed
quarter life crisis
i didn't get tied down at 19.
quarter life crisis
i need to figure out who i'm going to be

work my silly job, try to pay the rent.
realize i'm going through the motions.
go to school and i'm bored, think that I just go because i'm expected

realize who i'm dating makes me sad.
but i'm just too comfortable.
don't know if this is a recession
or if i'm just heading in the wrong direction.

quarter life crisis
question my choices - are they mine
quarter life crisis
everyone is telling me - no, no , no
quarter life crisis
what happened to - all the fun

now that i've realized this - i'm on a new mission.
restart this life build myself up - start with a new transmission

i promise myself - i'll listen to my thoughts and not their judgements
i promise myself - to stay true to myself and follow my heart

quarter life crisis
get up out of bed - know that the world is my oyster
quarter life crisis
speak my mind and do all the things i ever wanted
quarter life crisis
starting a-new, after you, i'm so excited.

Jemibook Oakland, California

Jemibook came to be one day late in 2006 when Jem realized that it's easier to pick up a toy ukulele at a wal-mart and make your own band then wait around for people's schedules to work out together.
