One, two, three
You're seventeen without a purpose
Your teacher hates you, you feel worthless
Close your eyes, plug your ears
Remember that the future's near
Your friends don't see the world like you do
It's just something that you've been used to
Write a song, carry on
Remind yourself the future's long
And I can see without my eyes
The world and all its lies
I'm certain
Things will always be this way
So I never waste my time
Trying to confine
Myself to
Life and all its stupid ways
Twenty-one, you scratched the surface
But that year was your fucking saddest
Close your eyes, hide your tears
Talk to dad while he's still here
You're twenty-two, the world is turning
Everyone on it is hurting
The cat has jumped right out the bag
Finding out this life's a drag
And I can see without my eyes
The world and all its lies
I'm certain
Things will always be this way
So I never waste my time
Trying to confine
Myself to
Life and all its stupid ways
Oh, I don't know
Who they hoped that I would become
(Who they hoped that I would become)
Oh, I don't know
Who they hoped that I would become
(Who they hoped that I would become)
