Chose life, got ahead
Gave it everything I had
Tracing my footsteps
Trying to figure out when
When did my luck change
Why is it going wrong
Snapped my bike chain
Never charged my phone
For the long way home
It's a long way home
Every time it feels like I'm getting somewhere
Always leads to the road to nowhere fast
You say Life's hard, Why should I care?
I wish you did, but Is that so much to ask?
Sick of taking one step forward and ten steps back
It's always one step forward and ten steps back
I want a clean slate, fresh start
Not for life to fall apart
Like a smashed up
Broken old jam jar
More Like a train wreck
Or like a Crashed car
Put the pedal to the metal went a little too far
Guess it went a little too far
A little too far
Every time it feels like I'm getting somewhere
Always leads to the road to nowhere fast
You say 'Life's hard, Why should I care?
I wish you did, but Is that so much to ask?
Sick of taking one step forward and ten steps back
To get by, to move on, to do better, that's all that I want
To get by, to move on, to do better, that's all that I want
Every time it feels like I'm getting somewhere
Always leads to the road to nowhere fast
You say 'Life's hard, Why should I care?
I wish you did, but Is that so much to ask?
Sick of taking one step forward and ten steps back
Its always one step forward and ten steps back

Leave school, go to college
Forget all you ever wanted
Fast cars, rock stars
Drug addicts n alcoholics
Pay bills, save your money
Tell momma not to worry,
9-5, in some office,
Gotta get that Cash deposit…
CHORUS
Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s what I need
Always knew I had cut free,
Got One way ticket (out)
I want you right beside me,
VERSE 2
Stay and struggle,
Through the trouble
I don’t wanna burst your bubble
Nothings getting better here,
Feel it in the atmosphere
Play along, right or wrong
All rolled up into one
Can’t you see its crystal clear,
Nothings getting better here
CHORUS
Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s what I need
Always knew I had cut free,
Got One way ticket
But I want you beside me,
BRIDGE
This circus loves itself,
Forget about anybody else
freak show, leeches, living hell.
Stuck down at the bottom of the well
CHORUS
Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s / what I need
Always knew I had to cut free
Got One way ticket but
I want you right beside me,
Got a one way ticket
Got a one way ticket.
VERSE 3
Old man, never left
Choking on a cigarette
Looking back on his life
Asking if it’s over yet
Back pain, pension plan
Just Get out while you can
Ride the wave, run away
Red to go or blue to stay.

A Night to Waste

Another boring day in this same old town
Where routine grates the people down
Dead end jobs, but in 2 more stops
we’ll be doing shots in Medlock park
The great escape, our music’s loud
Here’s the place where hope is found.
After dark, we’re all messed up
But Call us when the party starts and say.
Won’t you all come over
Make sure no one’s sober
We’re only getting older
None of us have got a night to waste
Get loose til the sun’s up
Screaming at the top of,
Our lungs to our favourite songs
Cause none of us have got a night to waste.
Word moves fast
On how we act
Gossip queens
And heart attacks
Dumped his girl, then got her back
Snogged her friend, down by the
We spread the story,
Break the news
Another bombshell
Right on cue
She asked em all to share the truth
They said we killed your gold fish,
Fed it glue.
And say.
Won’t you all come over
Make sure no one’s sober
We’re only getting older
None of us have got a night to waste
Get loose Till the sun’s up
Screaming at the top of,
Our lungs to our favourite songs
Cause none of us have got a night
Living the life
Party all night, swaying
Strawberry lights,
Learning to fly,
Baby
Everyone’s high
I wonder why
Maybe, just maybe
we’re escaping
We’re escaping,
