All I wanted was a stage
And I got it, so what's next?
This is my coming of age
You are all my test subjects
Cuz when the last connection breaks
From the last remaining thread
The foundations start to shake
And all you see is red
I had tried to run
Now you've got me under
God, what have I done?
I'll reach for the stars, catching none
I can't wait for life to turn me terrible
I can't wait to see what it's all for
So I'll put my money down
And take up in a new home
Then I'll move on from this town
And forget where I came from
Cuz sometimes you wanna go
Where nobody knows your face
Nothing quite like laying low
In a better place
Lost among the crowd
I was crying your name aloud
My head in the clouds
I returned when you called me out
I can't wait for life to turn me terrible
I can't wait to see what it's all for
I can't wait for life to turn me terrible
I can't wait to quit being a bore
Keep yourself in check
To ensure your greatest success
Oh, but I digress
It's better than to live in distress
