I'm worried about my friends
'Cause they all feel stuck
In relationships or the towns where they grew up
I'm scared their drug-induced apathy won't last forever
I'm worried that it will
Avery said that they're scared
'Cause everything is temporary
I said that I'm glad
'Cause everything sucks, eventually
And I'm not being cynical
I've just seen everything get stale
If you don't circulate the air

My friend Kate had to move back in with her dad
This town ain't no place for a kid
Who's struggling to make rent
I know we all make our own homes
Temecula is no place for personal growth
But you already know that
Security is complacency
Comfort's a white flag
Please don't give up yet

I'm not saying everyone should run away from home
But if you stay 'cause you feel there's nowhere to go
Well, I think you should try
Pack your Jansport bag full of books and snacks
Like you're twelve years old
You know you're never coming back
And don't tell anyone why
If you're not feeling hopeful
If you're not feeling scared
What are you doing here?
It's the feeling you get when you've got a crush
Or at the edge of the cliff before you take the plunge
A little bit hopeful, a little bit scared
Hopeful, scared
Hopeful, scared
