about

Wanting to move out pretty bad but i'm sad about leaving

lyrics

you know, i think this is gonna be the start to a book
the longest one that i've ever written.
and i'll call the first chapter mass frustration.
cause have you ever done the same thing every god damn day for months straight?
maybe that's why i'm going insane
but at least i'm writing it down

they told me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)

they did tell me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)

wait

man, i did all this in an hour?
that's gotta be some kind of world record
for the most meaningless shit written down in
a three subject notebook
i mean, listen to the next fucking verse

i'm looking for some food
i'm hungry as shit
i'm tearin' up the pantry only find some stale chips
now i move to the fridge
week old beef and bacon bits
something's telling me my hankering wont be fixed
(dammit, guess i gotta go to kroger)

they told me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)

they did tell me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)

alright guys i'm calling it

(indistinct whistling)

had a dream last night
well i was drowning from the inside of my bedroom
and your here too
so i swam right out the window
to touch the stars above
but i burned my face
going on that interstellar race
and i don't know how to get back to where i was

sometimes when i'm all alone i like to dream of me and you
but i know i've got a lot to do like fix my attitude

had a dream last night
well there were purple flowers
pulling at my sleeves
oh they were begging me to leave
so i ran right out the back door
and grabbed the earth below
and i held on tight cause i'm not sure when the next time is
i'm coming back home

wooaaaaaahhhhooaaaahh

sometimes when i'm all alone i like to dream of me and you
but i know i've got a lot to do like fix my attitude
