You say i'm getting older now
Time for me to figure out
What I really wanna do
With my time before it's through
1 2 3 4
You say i'm getting older now
Time for me to figure out
What I really wanna do
With my time before it's through
And what I want out of this life
Buy a home or be a wife
Start acting responsibly
Don't waste opportunities
You think i should be more concerned
With where it is i'm headed to
I'm narrowly, narrowly
Narrowly escaping disaster
Accelerating faster than you think i should
I'm recklessly, recklessly
Recklessly attempting a nosedive
I'm not handling my life
Like you think i should for my own good yeah
I don't need the things you need
Blackberries, plasma tv's
You and i are not the same
Why am i the only one who thinks that's ok?
You prefer security
I like ambiguity
I don't want to make a plan
I don't want a minivan
And you don't understand it
But it's working out ok for me
I'm narrowly, narrowly
Narrowly escaping disaster
Accelerating faster than you think i should
I'm recklessly, recklessly
Recklessly attempting a nosedive
I'm not handling my life
Like you think i should for my own good yeah
I ain't got much to brag about
No impressive facts to spout
Just a negligible income and
A lousy little punk rock band
But amy was just made vp
And jen just had her first baby
And everybody's wondering
When is that gonna be me?
Well don't hold your breath cuz i'm not there yet
Well don't hold your breath cuz i'm not there yet, ok?
Everyone says i'll regret
That i didn't plan ahead
(Everyone says i'll regret
That i didn't plan ahead)
Not sure of the tracks i've laid
Still, you know, i wouldn't trade
(Not sure of the tracks i've laid
Still, you know, i wouldn't trade)
I don't ask why you spend eight
Hours a day at a job you hate
I'm not pointing my finger
At you and your high blood pressure
And neither of us knows if we'll regret
The choices that we've made
That we've made
That we've made
That we've made
