[Verse 1]

I hope that I was made for more than this town

I hope that I was made for more than beer pong parties

There must be more to this life than (This)

I hope that I was made for more than talking 'bout the weather

Man, it's already September

There must be more to this life than (This)


[Verse 2]

And I hope that I was made for more than what they think of me

And I think of them sometimes

And I hope they're doing good

But I hope that I'm doing better

Man, it's already December

There must be more to this life than (This)


[Verse 3]

And I hope that I was made for more than consuming everything that's fed to me

I hope that I was made for bigger things

Ideas that surpass my old age

Long when my body has decayed

There must be more to this life than (This)


[Verse 4]

And I hope that I was made for more than being told what to do

I hope I was made to be a star

I want an interesting life

But my worldview is often skewed

From my majestic pedestal

There must be more to this life than this

Than this, than this, than this

And I just don't know what I want

But I know exactly what I don't

I just don't know what I want

But what I don't


[Chorus]

Old and gray, in the same place

Still talking 'bout the same things

And making no new memories

Just talking 'bout a younger me

And in six years, I'll be your age

But I hope I won't be in your place

There must be more to this life than this

There must be more to this life than this

And In six years, I'll be your age

But I hope I won't be in your place

There must be more to this life than this


[Outro]

I hope that I was made for—

I hope that I was made for more—

I hope that I was made for more than—

I hope that I was made for more than hoping
