i'd give anything to be by own goddamn person but i don't know what they'd look like
all i have to my name is twenty bucks and a dumb fuckin haircut
swamp, you're a great kid but you need to, take a hike, get out of your own head
i gotta get out of this town before i turn twenty and get more disillusioned
you can't put me on the "pop punk bands hate this town" playlist because i'm not pop punk
you're not helping me get out of this funk
it's been four fuckin years
i've heard nothing but white noise in my ears

the next town over's no better and the city's worse
finding out there's no way out just really hurts
the next town over's no better and the city's worse
finding out there's no way out just really hurts
the next town over's no better and the city's worse
finding out there's no way out just really hurts
the next town over's no better and the city's worse
finding out there's no way out just really hurts

until the day you die
your parents will say, "take the college only 10 minutes away"
but i don't want to see you every fucking day
so i'm ending up as far as a plane can take me away
(yeah i rhymed away with away... whatever)

and on the day they die they'll leave me
a broken shell of what we could be
and when we clean out her room
there'll be no place left for me but the moon (it just fuckin hurts)

it just fuckin hurts


and if i dieeeeeeee
launch me into space, and forget me
you'll be better off
if i die, launch me into space and forget me
you'll be better oooooff
but i'll never die
so please don't forget me
but i'll never die
so please don't forget me.

(one take. definitely one take only.)
