Back in '08
Every day is one big long to-do list
A never-ending cycle of "Oh shit, I gotta do this"
Every day a Tetris game of commitments
They tell me "get some sleep" then pile on some new engagement
But I want the sun on my shoulders
I'm hyper-aware that every day I'm just getting older
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
I got a CD that my sister burned back in '08
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Woah
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Overdue and I'm overextended
Break my back right in half when I try too hard to bend it
Walking dead, but you know I ain't dead yet
Vienna's waiting for me, babe, and I'm ready to jet set
But I want to breathe in a city
I'm all too aware
That all this life is just waiting for me
I want to scream it, let me be free
When did I let things I love to do take a backseat
So you know what?
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
I got a CD that my sister burned back in '08
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Woah, woah
I wasn't made for the 9 to 5
I need just a little more to satisfy this mind of mine
You can't convince me that there's one way
For everybody in the world to live, so for today
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
Hey!
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
I got a CD that my sister burned back in '08
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Go tell my boss, to go get lost
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Ow!
A never-ending cycle of "Oh shit, I gotta do this"
Every day a Tetris game of commitments
They tell me "get some sleep" then pile on some new engagement
But I want the sun on my shoulders
I'm hyper-aware that every day I'm just getting older
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
I got a CD that my sister burned back in '08
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Woah
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Overdue and I'm overextended
Break my back right in half when I try too hard to bend it
Walking dead, but you know I ain't dead yet
Vienna's waiting for me, babe, and I'm ready to jet set
But I want to breathe in a city
I'm all too aware
That all this life is just waiting for me
I want to scream it, let me be free
When did I let things I love to do take a backseat
So you know what?
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
I got a CD that my sister burned back in '08
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Woah, woah

Hey!
I'm playing hooky go and tell my boss
Hop in my 2010 Corolla let's get fucking lost
I got a CD that my sister burned back in '08
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Go tell my boss, to go get lost
Let's throw our phones in the backseat we're off the hook today
Ow!
