I wake up from a fitful sleep And stare down at my smartphone screen And wonder what this world means Or if I'll amount to anything I worry what the future brings I don't have much going for me I guess I'm pretty clever Maybe I'll try out for Jeopardy But when the gameshow's over And the money is all spent What am I to do With all the questions in my head See I can't go to business school Like everybody else I wanna know what's out there And I'll find out for myself Maybe I'll be disappointed When I've seen all I can see And when I'm ten years older It'll be too late for me If something in life satisfies It's nothing that I know But if the world's too small for a human soul Then where else can we go
2.
What can I say I like it when it rains I'll stay inside all day And dream my life away Some say that I'm a romantic I guess I can understand it Life in the sunshine is frantic No need to panic Please don't let my fall colors Bleed in to your summers I'm not trying to bring anybody down I know that there are others More dreamers and more lovers And our heads are stuck up in the clouds Don't tell us off Don't let us down What can I do I've got so much to prove And a catchy tune or two Is all I have to lose

I get home at half past late And dinner's in the microwave I take it in but I can't taste It's better that way anyways And I stand in the shower Till all the knots in my back melt Or till the bathroom floods and I float to the ceiling I've lost my sense of feeling I've lost my sense of feeling I go to bed at the sunrise And stay there till it sets again Then I lie awake at night Just wondering when I'll sleep again I think maybe sometimes I'm just afraid to live my life And so I open all my scars instead of healing I've lost my sense of feeling I've lost my sense of feeling

I woke up miles away from home Upon a bed of cold hard stone I shook the dust of off my shoes And thought about all I'd been through I placed my burden on my back And in the snow I left my tracks I shed a tear just missing you Like I swore I'd never do And if I believed You would never leave me Then I might not be alone But I just can't see How anyone could take this restless vagabond And make him feel at home I never meant to leave you lost But when I counted up the cost It seemed like you were better off Even if I knew that I was not And if I believed You would never leave me Then I might not be alone But I just can't see How anyone could take this restless vagabond And make him feel at home So I'll be alone
