lyrics

I hated working nine to five.
Last year I hated working weekends (well at least I’m consistent)
Consistently out of sync; with who I am and how I think.
I miss those days back when my jeans didn't fit.
And when our apartment was cold we made the best of it.
We spent our money on better things.
We lived in Jacksonville and it was always spring
You know that briefcase that I once got as a gift?
It now rests in the spot where my bong used to sit.
And every morning when I pick it up; somehow it's heavier (and man that fucks me up)
Because there’s this place I wanna be
And yet i spend most of my days trying to leave
There’s still this place i wanna be
A place that I can’t see
I think back to when I lived in an ignorant bliss
Now perspective rests where my privilege used to sit
When I was younger I was never mean
I thought my heart was pure (and my soul was clean)
Back in the day when I used to think Jesus was it
but at least now I’m smart enough to call it what it is
Fantasies from a forgotten time.
I’m like 30 now my destiny is mine.
There is this place I wanna be
And yet I spend most of my days trying to leave
There is this place I wanna be (and yet no matter how much I try to believe) There is this place I want to be
A place that I cant see.
There is a place I want to go.
And somehow I’m going to get there on my own.
There is a place I want to go. And no matter how; I’ll get there.
