Sitting on the edge of an armchair
|
my seatbelt unfastened
|
shoelaces not tied
|
letting the wind mess my hair
|
make-up all smudged
|
wakin up all blurry eyed
|
it's too early in the morning
|
for my words to come out right
|
just getting used to sunshine
|
I'm still squinting in the light
|
|
|
And it looks like
|
a perfect day
|
just to get away
|
all the mundane
|
has brought out the rebel
|
I was born to be
|
and it feels like
|
the perfect time
|
just to break away
|
this is my life
|
it's a scission from the norm
|
|
|
I'm a nonconformist
|
I like doing stupid things
|
like laughing on a train
|
or falling in love again
|
television, magazines
|
they tell you how to live your life
|
but not how to use your brain
|
it's too early in the morning
|
for my words to come out right
|
just getting used to sunshine
|
I'm still squinting in the light
|
|
|
And it looks like the perfect day
|
just to get away
|
all the mundane
|
has brought out
|
the rebel i was born to be
|
and it feels like
|
the perfect time
|
just to break away
|
this is my life
|
it's a scission from the norm
|
|
|
I wanna do something
|
I've never done
|
dip my toe beneath the surface
|
of a sea
|
that I've never seen the bottom of
|
I'm not perfect
|
don't have to be
|
can walk around in just bare feet
|
I'm comfortable in my own skin
|
my confidence
|
it starts within
|
|
|
And it looks like
|
a perfect day
|
just to get away
|
all the mundane
|
has brought out
|
the rebel i was born to be
|
and it feels like
|
the perfect time
|
just to break away
|
this is my life
|
it's a scission from the norm
|
