Somebody get me out this mess I'm in
|
See I've been tryin' to do the best I can
|
But I keep on stumblin' over and over again
|
I ain't got no more excuses for ya
|
All that I can say is sorry
|
Won't you please come rescue me as quickly as you can
|
It's crazy how far we go
|
Just to put a little gas in our ego
|
That's what happens when your self esteem is low
|
We'll do anything to get people to notice us I know
|
It's tough but hey, imagine us throwin' our lives away
|
Because we're listenin' to the voice inside that chants
|
Says we'll never be significant if we can't
|
Fit in so we get into all kinds of trouble tryin' to be somebody we're not
|
Since in the beginning we've been givin' into the lie that says that we got
|
To keep up with the Jones's or get left behind
|
So we end up in debt tryin' to catch up it's messed up
|
'Cause ten years from now we can't press rewind
|
I want to invest in what stands the test of time
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I'm so sick and tired of being down and out
|
Tryin' to do what's right but wrong keeps comin out
|
I keep on tryin to write but songs ain't comin out
|
Plus now I'm getting older and time is runnin out I know,
|
Growth's a process but I can't see my progress
|
And I'm startin' to feel that my labor's in vain
|
So I hold on to the promise instead of my problems
|
Otherwise this stress is gonna drive me insane
|
Yes there's more to life than workin' 9 to 5
|
Buyin' things that make you feel fuzzy inside
|
I tried it and it worked at first for five minutes
|
But left me in the cold to hang like icicles oh!
|
Now I'm froze like a popsicle
|
Feel's like my mission's impossible
|
I'm stuck up in a maze full of obstacles
|
Keep on ending where I'm not supposed to go
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I just want to be okay with who I am, not have to run away
|
I'm so tired of trends I can't keep pretending
|
Playing these foolish games
|
|
Chorus
