A Better Place Lyrics

"Look before you jump" I still remember till this day

"Don't you play with fire and expect to get away"

"Don't you swing that bat if you're not sure about your game"

Who made all those rules again?

Here's to whoever sits on that throne

I'm approaching 25 with some grey hairs

When did I ever lose my drive to get somewhere

High enough to compare

Cuz I used to be the one to dive head first into the murkiest of waters I swear

But I became too self-aware

I always feel the need to prepare

And now I'm choking once again cuz I got used to turning back before takeoff

But this might the last shot in the dark I need to get to the top

I don't think I can go by another day like I'm not going insane

Waking up in the same bed expecting things to change

I need a big mistake

I need my heart to break

Need to run away until I find a better place

Cuz this impartial attitude is getting hard to maintain

Everyone around me seems to think I'm out of range

They think it's just a phase

They think that I should wait

I still think that I should run away

Until I find a better place

Until I find a better place

They say

"No way you still got that job"

"That's fucking crazy"

Yup, I feel like getting shot on the daily

Always one to talk about the future like I'm there

Cuz the present gets too hard to bear

And now I'm choking once again cuz I got used to turning back before takeoff

But this might the last shot in the dark I need to get to the top

I don't think I can go by another day like I'm not going insane

Waking up in the same bed expecting things to change

I need a big mistake

I need my heart to break

Need to run away until I find a better place

Cuz this impartial attitude is getting hard to maintain

Everyone around me seems to think I'm out of range

They think it's just a phase

They think that I should wait

I still think that I should run away

Until I find a better place
