I'm feeling so wired - I can't relax, drowning under last straws that are breaking my back
I want to feel okay. I want to feel anything other than "just sad" all the time
I'm feeling all alone, even though I'm not alone - I could reach some friends if I could reach for the phone
Who cares how you're feeling when you're feeling down? You're an adult with an apartment downtown
But I'm still just a kid - I'm still in the thick of it
Maybe I'm a little taller than I was
I'm back in my bedroom, just like I was in high school
Am I being dishonest with myself because
I wanna be cool? Can I be you?
I'm feeling so stretched out, I'm feeling hollow. Do you have a spine that maybe I could borrow?
Do you know if I could get back every day that I've lived and wished I was someone else?
I wish I was someone else
But I'm still just a kid - I'm still in the thick of it
Maybe I'm a little taller than I was
I'm back in my bedroom, just like I was in high school
Am I being dishonest with myself because
I wanna be cool? Can I be you?
Sinking in the shallows, some sorry dredges of wasted youth
Last pieces of my childhood slipping through
And all the time I borrowed, searching for the right face to choose
I can't keep living like this, can you?
Can you?
If I'm always looking backwards, I'll get my own back against the wall
Feeling sorry for how I used to be doesn't solve anything at all
Just a matter of being trapped in my own head, wishing I was someone new
Who cares if the words I'm saying resonate with any of you?
I'm still just a kid - I'm still in the thick of it
But I'm getting better than I was
I'm still just a kid - I'm still in the thick of it
But I'm getting better than I was
I'm back in the bedroom that I had in high school
Am I being honest with myself for once?
I wanna be cool - can I be you?
