lyrics
i awoke to a knock on my door
and i hoped it was a dream
and everything that i need before
there it stood in front of me
i must have been changing
or maybe i was too shut down
and i followed trouble like i needed it around
so i push when i hold myself back
and i push when i get bored
b/c every dull movement so previously planned
i’ve seen it all before
well my stomach must be turning
it’s so easily i’m sick
it’s so hard for me to mean it
i’m so easily sarcastic
i got tired of being bored and started doing something
i always wanted something more than to live for nothing
whatever happened to you?
nothing at all...
then why is it taking so long?
what do i say? who do i please? and who needs to be thrown out?
what do i fix now? i hope that it’s me
b/c i’m so tired of feeling down
well my heart it must be pumping
b/c the guilt is coming on strong now
for all the time i’ve wasted
i’m smashing clocks on the ground
i got tired of being bored and started doing something
i always wanted something more than to live for nothing
and i hoped it was a dream
and everything that i need before
there it stood in front of me
i must have been changing
or maybe i was too shut down
and i followed trouble like i needed it around
so i push when i hold myself back
and i push when i get bored
b/c every dull movement so previously planned
i’ve seen it all before
well my stomach must be turning
it’s so easily i’m sick
it’s so hard for me to mean it
i’m so easily sarcastic
i got tired of being bored and started doing something
i always wanted something more than to live for nothing
whatever happened to you?
nothing at all...
then why is it taking so long?
what do i say? who do i please? and who needs to be thrown out?
what do i fix now? i hope that it’s me
b/c i’m so tired of feeling down
well my heart it must be pumping
b/c the guilt is coming on strong now
for all the time i’ve wasted
i’m smashing clocks on the ground
i got tired of being bored and started doing something
i always wanted something more than to live for nothing
