I hate it here
I hate it here
But some sick part of me kinda believes
I miss it here
I miss it here
I don't know I don't wanna sound dumb or naive
But there's something 'bout New Year's Eve
In a small town next to the city
I'll never care enough to grieve
The cotton candy skies sure are pretty
When they're slightly covered up by trees
Yeah the colors just stand out more
Oh the landscapes are such a tease
'Cause the real thing is such a fucking bore
It's such a fucking bore
Modern day suburbia's a wasteland
I've been working on an escape plan
And if you make it out you're a brave man
'Cause half of these fuckers try but they can't

But the worst part of me just kinda knows
I'll miss it here
I'll miss it here
But, hey, isn't that the way life goes
Like when you get rid of all your old clothes
And you put a bunch of new ones on the rack
Yeah even though it's what you chose
You still want your dirty t-shirt back
But it's gone and it's a good thing too
Carry on and find a different you
'Cause she's not here and you know that
And all of your old shit
You've outgrown that

Have you ever been
Stuck in the future for a lifetime?
Hope is my medicine
Lately it's even been a lifeline
But are you clinging to the past too?
Answering questions nobody asked you
