I'm writing a song - it's not very good The words and the chords are simple And bound to be misunderstood Everything seems so big and hard and small And stupid and pointless and insecure Like the world is a hospital and my life Is a sickness and there's only one cure And that is to leave, to go Someplace else, someplace new Where the breeze and the sky Are more important than your wallet And your dishes and your roommates And your laundry and your comic book career And your heart, and your heart
I get older but i don't get better I get bigger but i don't get stronger My head gets harder but i don't get smarter I get a lot of things But not a lot of choice, oh yeah
Went for a walk - 4 am Everything looked perfect, nothing made sense The world is my oyster - my mind is the shell My heart is a prisoner - my mind is the cell When you get so fucking lonely, it's hard to stay inspired But hey forget it, i guess i'm just tired I guess i'm just tired, i guess i'm just tired (etc)
(chorus)
I'm writing a song - it's not very good I'm not what you'd call a poet, or a "songsmith" I never learned. maybe i should Or maybe i should leave, just go Someplace else, someplace new Where the air is not so still And the rain is not so lovely And the world is not so green And my life is not so beautiful Where would i go, where would i go? When i've got it all, i've got it all I've got it all, i've got it all (etc) Everything but you
