Eighty-one miles an hour down the interstate
No seatbelt and I'm lying across my friends in the back seat
All the days I spent inside
Wallowing
In my own self-pity were wasted
I shouldn't've cancelled those plans
I would've had fun
I know I would've had fun
Don't doubt the urge to take the leap
Cuz every risk is one worth taking
Cuz if you try to wait for life
It ain't gonna wait for you
Oh, it ain't gonna wait for you
Throwing on a backpack and walking down the train tracks
Breaking into an abandoned cinema
Every person I didn't talk to
Every crush I didn't ask out
Were wasted opportunities
Cuz I am so cowardly
So cowardly
Don't sit and wait for them to talk to you
This is a choice that you're making
Cuz if you try and pass the time
It's gonna pass by you
Oh, it'll pass right by you
I will trip down the staircase
And stumble into your room
And I will go in your closet
And steal all of your perfume
And I will run out the front door
With the fragrance in my bag
And I will try to remember
All the good times that we had
Don't stand inside and waste your time
Or soon your legs will be aching
Cuz if you trace the cracks on the ceiling
It'll fall on top of you
Oh, right on top of you
I will try to remember stumbling into your room
I will try to remember the scent of your perfume
I will try not to forget the fragrance in my bag
And I will try to make the time to give it back
And I will try to remember
All the good times that we ha-ha-ha-had
