cincinnati i

(One, two, one-two-three!)

Four houses two schools are blending together
I'm stuck in a cage with birds of a feather
Often, i've noticed
The shadows have more depth than the people

Cicadas are screaming, i might join in
Cuz i'm sick of the adults acting disappointed
When they question my future
Instead of asking how i am

Drive on the highway
I could go anywhere
But i get off at the usual exits

The numbers are passing, and clocks don't rewind
I keep asking myself when will i find the time
To step on the gas
And watch as the exits fly by

I think it's time i accept my fate
I'm sorry, Vienna, but i just can't wait
I know i'll be alone
But i can't let myself go on like this

The sirens are calling, i'm packing my bags
I'm tired of driving with expired tags in my head
I'm bigger than this city and i'm sick of this house
Step on all the squeaky boards to signify that i'm out

So long, there's nothing left to say
How do i declare goodbye when good is miles away?

Look out for the plane, one day i'll be on it
My home'll look smaller than when i was haunted
By paper-thin walls and dusty old, windows
Bricks in the front, and stripes in the lawn
