lyrics

I've been driving the same old car I got when I turned 18
I'm 20 now but I don't think I'm thriving
The leaves, they fall but problems I'm still facing
They stay the same
But I feel so lame
'Cause I can't leave my own bed
Without feel grey
My wall's no longer blue, they're painted red
Conspire, ignite this desire
To get out of this town and go real far

All the late nights in this place
Followed by the days that all felt the same
Despite the time spent saving face
I still hear Pere Marquette calling out my name
While I'm feeling so alone
Slip through the cracks here on my own
I'm too scared to freely roam but I'll leave home
To mend these broken bones

Every summer we spent days on the beach
And every winter felt like a curse
Though I'm the first to say I wanted to leave
This city's still full of firsts
My first kiss
My first car
My first drink for a broken heart
My first band that helped me get out of my shell

I never thought about the life I would lead
I never thought about the person I'd be
I always thought about how easy it seems
For my peers to accept life's just as good as it gets
I never thought about this chill down my bones
I never thought I'd like to call this place home
And if I ever it will be on my own
My only feelings behind closed doors that make up my mind

Was I wrong
Did I fail
To address this part of me
Did I get
What I need
To be who I'm meant to be
I guess life's not fair
But I'm still here
