I'm tryin' to get a clear vision
10 years from today they cut ribbon
Honoring us for all our under achievements
For staying awake and not American dreaming
A piece of me dies everytime I fly
I probably won't make it to my midlife crisis
So just let the mices and the rats in
All that I've done, I did for them.
I always set two alarms
One to wake the other when my battery's gone.
I don't wanna hear another word...
Small talk for the bees and birds.
Starin' into the light, Cigarette burns your sweater
There's gotta be something more to life than perfect weather
There's gotta be something wrong with us,
'Cause we don't know better
Can't imagine what I'm missing
Better taste, better drink, better living
Burning my tongue on American pie
The things that you ruin when you've got nothing but time
Still part of me wants to trade my life
I cross my heart and cross my wires
'Cause I might just like to taste the prices of the little things
All that you do, you do for them
(You might as well)
Starin' into the light, Cigarette burns your sweater
There's gotta be something more to life than perfect weather
There's gotta be something wrong with us,
'Cause we don't know better
(There's something up with the trees,
They keep on changing colors.
Change mine too, I want that so badly)
You might as well save that for your young
'Cause everything's worth more when you're gone
And no longer do these things belong to anyone.
