So tired of trying to keep up with someone else's pace You got a new tattoo, but the same old face Complacency is the enemy and I've been acting old There's got to be more to life than doing what we're told You can't bottle this - it always slips away Shut out - of a dream we had not long ago There's nothing to prove, nothing to show We've been told all this before So why am I still keeping score Constraints are all around you every single day When you're feeling overloaded you can't run away And everywhere you go there's another wall in life No matter where you look there's no end in sight You can't bottle this - it always slips away Shut out - of a dream we had not long ago Nothing to prove, nothing to show We've been told all this before And I'm still keeping score I understand you've got pressure's But I can't accept your reaction It's been a long road Is it all a distraction? Birth, school, work, death These are things we all have to accept And sometimes it feels like you're hitting a wall I can't make sense of it all Shut up! It's another time and another place Get a different view and a brand new take It's a brand new day, it's a brand new day Brand new day It's a brand new day Brand new day
