Well when she got the grade
She took her real first breath
As a person without a single damn care left
Put a note in her phone in double bold and red
Everything that I need is somewhere straight ahead
Oh, it's somewhere straight ahead
Soon when the fuse was lit
She tied a few loose ends
Certain people she loved and just a few fake friends
On the morning she left, she left a text on read
Everybody I need is somewhere straight ahead
'Cause I don't wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don't see whatever your seeing
I just think I'm better off leaving
I don't wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don't see whatever your seeing
I just think I'm better off leaving
Two years to the day
She had it all worked out
Wrote a couple of novels people wrote about
Captivated the strangers at the bars uptown
Thinking "Nobody here could ever slow me down
Nah, they couldn't slow me down"
When the thought occurred
She bought the house she earned
She started looking into venues for July the third
She wants a west coast wedding with a mind like hers
Before she puts a reminder in phone to reminder her that she knows
I can do it on my own I can do it
'Cause I don't wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don't see whatever your seeing
I just think I'm better off leaving
I don't wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don't see whatever your seeing
I just think I'm better off leaving
She's off the ground
She won't look down
She made a vow
Don't stop her now
The things that she wills
Become things that she builds
So don't stop her
When she saw the movie all about her life
Well she noticed some things they didn't get quite right
'Cause they added mistakes and cut her best damn nights
Everybody who knew it sent a god damn text
"Did you tell 'em to do it so it makes more sense?"
She was staring straight ahead
Took her time and said
"I don't wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don't see whatever your seeing
I just think I'm better off leaving
I don't wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don't see whatever your seeing
I just think I'm better off leaving"
