Somewhere Else Lyrics

I'm picking up on the pattern

That I'd rather be somewhere else at all times

It's getting better in that I have learned

That I need to start asking myself

Why I don't do the things I plan on

It's like I am useless when I'm overwhelmed

I'm hanging on for the future but I'm trapped inside the past

All the birthdays I was looking forward to are over

Didn't know that it would happen so fast

Why don't I just do the things I plan on

It's like I am useless when I'm overwhelmed

I find that it helps to prepare excessively but

I can't begin until the deadline corners me

(The city's never done, it's always under construction)

(It's always under construction)

Oh why don't I just do the things I plan on

It's like I am useless when I'm overwhelmed

I find that it helps to prepare excessively but

I can't begin until the deadline corners me

As life goes by, I've been frequenting these situations

My demise, you would think that I'd been sleeping

Try to remind myself or do I just not want it

I realize I should have more to show for my efforts
