Roller coaster ride journey of adulting

Pen Holderness and Kim Holderness, the 40-something duo takes you on a roller coaster ride as they chalk out a comparison between their younger days and the current times when they have grown up. The duo takes you on a journey to their youth when they stayed out late to party yet suffered no hangovers, but as compared to then, they now feel excited to hire a professional couch cleaning company and buying new kitchen appliances, which is exactly what adulting seems to be like.

The lyrics of the song go like, "I cleaned between my toes in the shower. She sat in a carpool for an hour. I put a bill in an envelope. She sliced up a whole cantaloupe."

"I keep getting into situations and I look around the room for the grown-up to make the decision or do the work, and it turns out I’m the adult now,". "Almost daily I think, 'Do they realize I have no idea what I’m doing?'", the couple sings further.

Another stanza of the song says, "Instead of FOMO — fear of missing out — we have FOMS — fear of missing sleep." 

"Kim from 20 years ago would also be horrified at my obsession with closet organization." Penn sings in the original song.
