Slowly
I know that it has been said before,
but not like this, or with these chords
I wish that I was someone else so I could sit down with myself
And maybe I could help explain these crazy thoughts I entertain
About my life, and everything,
like how it's really happening right now
I'm bored, I'm restless, disconnected
Aimlessness has left me breathless
But my life has been redirected
And I'm starting to accept this
So efforts now must be relentless
Because failures leave me so upset with myself
But I swear this on all that I love: you're going to see
Exactly what I'm made of tonight
As for the rest of my life, well, I'll just wait and see
What happens to me from here
So it seems, like all of the time I'm about to change my mind
I'm so naive, yet resolute after I've decided what to do
I can't wear a tie on my collared shirt
And I can't get a job and just go to work
I'm worried sick like you wouldn't believe
Have you any idea what this means to me?
Looking back now makes me laugh
I'm grateful I don't want the things that I lack
Except for time, oh goddam me
When did free time become such a luxury?
See, if I don't do this while I'm young
I'm certain that it wont get done
I've made my choice and it's all right
I'm ready to really start living my life
So I swear to god that I will quit my job
And drive until my car just stops
I'll walk until I reach the ocean
Maybe I will know what to do by then
but not like this, or with these chords
I wish that I was someone else so I could sit down with myself
And maybe I could help explain these crazy thoughts I entertain
About my life, and everything,
like how it's really happening right now
I'm bored, I'm restless, disconnected
Aimlessness has left me breathless
But my life has been redirected
And I'm starting to accept this
So efforts now must be relentless
Because failures leave me so upset with myself
But I swear this on all that I love: you're going to see
Exactly what I'm made of tonight
As for the rest of my life, well, I'll just wait and see
What happens to me from here
So it seems, like all of the time I'm about to change my mind
I'm so naive, yet resolute after I've decided what to do
I can't wear a tie on my collared shirt
And I can't get a job and just go to work
I'm worried sick like you wouldn't believe
Have you any idea what this means to me?
Looking back now makes me laugh
I'm grateful I don't want the things that I lack
Except for time, oh goddam me
When did free time become such a luxury?
See, if I don't do this while I'm young

So I swear to god that I will quit my job
And drive until my car just stops
I'll walk until I reach the ocean
Maybe I will know what to do by then
