Forever Now
My name is Billie, and I'm freaking out
I thought, therefore I was, well I can't really figure it out
I sit alone with my thoughts and prayers
Scream out my memories as if I was never there
Standing at the edge of the world
Is giving me the chills
But looking down the edge of the world
I'm lost in a tango, it's freaking me out
Burning lights and blackouts
(Out, out, out)
From the edge of the world
(Out, out, out)
From the edge of the world
I'm like a punk rocker on Labor Day
How the hell did I work so hard to be born this way?
I never learned to read or write so well (freaking out)
But I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell
Standing at the edge of the world
Is giving me the chills
But looking down the edge of the world
I'm lost in a tango, it's freaking me out
Burning lights and blackouts
(Out, out, out)
From the edge of the world
(Out, out, out)
From the edge of the world
If this is what you call the good life
(Ooh ooh, ooh)
I want a better way to die
If this is what you call the good life
(Ooh ooh, ooh)
I want a better way to die
Oh, I
Don't wanna think about tomorrow
Don't wanna think about the old
It doesn't matter anyway
Oh, I
I wanna start a revolution
I wanna hear it on my radio
I'll put it off another day
I want a new conspiracy
And the silence of a thousand cries
So hurry up
I want a better way to die
I'm running late to somewhere now
That I don't want to be
Where the future and promises
Ain't what it used to be
I never wanted to compromise
Or bargain with my soul
How did a life on the wild side
Ever get so full?
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Oh, I (somewhere now)
Don't wanna think about tomorrow (somewhere now)
Don't wanna think about the old (somewhere now)
It doesn't matter anyway (somewhere now)
Oh, I (somewhere now)
I wanna start a revolution (somewhere now)
I wanna hear it on my radio (somewhere now)
I'll put it off another day (somewhere now)
Oh, I (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
Don't wanna think about tomorrow (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
Don't wanna think about the old (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
It doesn't matter anyway (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
Oh, I (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
I wanna start a revolution (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
I wanna hear it on my radio (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
I'll put it off another day (I ain't gonna stand in line no more) (somewhere now)
Ah ah, ah
Ah ah

I'm lost in a tango, it's freaking me out
Burning lights and blackouts

Ah ah, ah
