The Life Ironic
Does anyone else feel nostalgic for the nineties?
Before I came to know the darkness inside me
In case you haven’t noticed, lately I’ve been a bit unstable
I’ve been choking on air and pacing around tables
I needed a fresh start, but I just wasn’t able
To see that there’s more to this life than late night cable
It took a few years for me to realize
This town’s been changing right before my eyes
And maybe that’s the way it should be
Some days it feels the only thing that hasn’t changed is me
My problems can’t be solved in a mere twenty two minutes
Will you stay with me until the credits finish?
These are the things that make me feel nervous
I’m unaccustomed to life without purpose
I want nothing more than to find inspiration
In a three hour drive with no real destination
For the first time in years I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone.
You know, I thought it would be harder to make it on my own.
But I find myself looking forward to the unknown.
The daydreams that come with new found loneliness
Are a familiar comfort I’d forgotten to miss
I’m getting better but I haven’t been the same since.
These are the things that make me feel nervous
I’m unaccustomed to life without purpose
I want nothing more than to find inspiration
In a three hour drive with no real destination
I’m doing my best just to keep my distance
But every attempt at escape is just met with resistance
It’s time to leave home and it’s hard to admit this
I’m starting to think that one day I will miss this
You know you’ve got too much free time on your hands
When you’re dialing old friends trying to make amends
You know you’ve got too much free time on your hands
When you want to sail the world till the oceans end
I’m doing my best just to keep my distance
But every attempt at escape is just met with resistance
It’s time to leave home and it’s hard to admit this
I’m starting to think that one day I will miss this
These are the things that make me feel nervous
I’m unaccustomed to life without purpose
I want nothing more than to find inspiration
In a three hour drive with no real destination
These are the things that make me feel nervous
I’m unaccustomed to life without purpose
I want nothing more than to find inspiration
In a three hour drive with no real destination
