Can't Sit Still

You show me pictures of everything I missed out on
Every day you tell me that next time I should come along
Although it's tempting to drop everything
I'm barely getting by, running on empty

I'm clocking in then zoning out
Same shit different day
Trapped on a roundabout
Oh I have big plans, but you have to understand
Every night when I get home
I sink into the sofa like it's quicksand

Oh I can't sit still, it's time for change
I've had my fill of this backwards place
I could start again where no one knows my name
I can't wait until I turn this page

I can see the future laid out in front of me
There's no escape if I stick to the same routine
When I look around I see the same old crowd
Same stories from their mouths and I know how they all end

I can face uncertainty and doubt but
What weighs on my mind
Is the fear of missing out
Although it isn't much
I could sell all my stuff
Not sure if it's enough
But it might get me halfway

I can't sit still, it's time for change
I've had my fill of this backwards place
I could start again where no one knows my name
I can't wait until I turn this page

Some friends say they know me
Say I'll be back soon
Tell me that I'm dreaming
That I won't see things through
With friends like these who needs enemies
Don't they want me to succeed
I know it won't be easy
There are no guarantees
I've come to one conclusion
It's harsh but it's true
If I want to move on up
I'll have to cut some people loose
Yeah

I can't sit still, it's time for change
I've had my fill of this backwards place
I could start again where no one knows my name
I can't wait until I turn this page

Yeah
I can't sit still, it's time for change
I've had my fill of this backwards place
I could start again where no one knows my name
I can't wait until I turn this page
