If I Need To

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Everyone from my hometown’s married now

And if they’re not, they’re just waiting for a chance to settle down

And Wyatt still sells weed from his parents’ basement

But the high is not as good now that our lives are complicated

And I wish I could be happy, playing safe and playing nice

I wish I could be happy with what I know

Cause I don’t feel at home

But I want to

I really want to

I don’t feel at home

But I don’t need to

I just need to

Live a little, make a mess

Know it’s fine to be a wreck

And if I need to, come back home

When I was five I had a thing for danger

Thought that when I grew up I’d be a sick-ass power-ranger

I'm still young but now I'm scared of failing

Tell me when did we get jaded and stop thinking we could be famous

'Cause I don’t feel at home

But I want to

I really want to

I don’t feel at home

But I don’t need to

I just need to

Live a little, make a mess

Know it’s fine to be a wreck

And if I need to, come back home

I refuse to be complacent

I don’t want to go through the ages

Wishing I was someone else

Someone who is brave and chainless

'Cause I don’t feel at home

But I don’t want to

I don’t want to

I don’t feel at home

But I don’t need to

I just need to

Live a little, make a mess

Know it’s fine to be a wreck

And if I need to, come back home
