Time for a new me
I hear their having a sale at Thrifties
I traded myself in
And I don't care what I get for it
Cause I finally burned out
Been kicking myself for way to long
Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time I realized
Wishing I was in another world
Taking a new tack
Gotta turn my back to turn back
I don't wanna close doors
But I don't wanna feel this way anymore
So I'm finding my way out
By turning away from a brickwall
Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time I realized
Wishing I was in another world
Somebody tell me what to do
I'm wasting my last fifteen years
Jumping through their hoops
Only to find out that way ain't for me
But academic oblivion
My proud destiny
See I finally burned out
Been kicking myself for way to long
Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time I realized
Wishing I was in another world
Wishing I was in another world
I was whishing I was in another world
(Somebody tell me what to do)
I was whishing I was in another world
(Somebody tell me what to do)
I was whishing I was in another world
(Somebody tell me what to do)
Time for a new me
