When I started looking back on all of the crap
I took a good, long look and I don’t like where I’m at
I thought I’d skip town by now, and I’d never look back
If I had a say in my life, I’d be making some tracks

I caught a Sunday matinee and let my head explode
I thought I’d put it down on paper and let everyone know
The single bills and double-dips have got me up to my nose
I’m sick of driving and of walking but I dream of the road

I wanna be more than I am
I wanna be where they give a damn
I’m tired of always waiting for something to come my way
I don’t wanna wake up today

Stop motion, frame-by-frame, I stayed when everyone came
I put my head in the sand and I prayed for some rain
And there’s nothing on the tele but a world of inane
I thought I’d show my face in public, but they’d know I was lame

I caught the 6AM when I should be in bed
“destination nowhere”, the sign said, in red
and I can’t seem to think of a damn word I said
‘cause I was laying ‘cross the seats of life, talking in my head

I wanna be more than I am
I wanna be where they give a damn
I’m tired of always waiting for something to come my way
I don’t wanna wake up today

I’m gettin’ nowhere fast
I’m collecting dust just sittin’ on my ass
Maybe I’ll leave today
Maybe I’ll leave tonight
Maybe I’ll hang a left
When the world
When the world
When the world is screaming right

I wanna be more than I am
I wanna be where they give a damn
I’m tired of always waiting for something to come my way
I don’t wanna wake up if it’s just gonna be another day

I’m breaking out. I’m breaking in
To watch a new day begin
I’ll figure out just where I’ve been.
I’m phoning it in
I’m freaking out
‘cause I can’t win

I wanna be more than I am
I wanna be where they give a damn
I’m tired of always waiting for something to come my way
I don’t wanna wake up if it’s just gonna be another day

I wanna be more than I am
I wanna be where they give a damn
I’m tired of always waiting for something to come my way
I don’t wanna wake up today
