A Simple Plan

I can't live here anymore

Here in a line, wasting away

But I can't make it to the door

I don't know why I can't escape

A simple plan will get you in

Into the main attraction

But how far backward will you bend

To get another reaction

It's always hard to change your point of view

I can't live here any more

Set up to fall, to fall

But I can't keep myself away 'cause I want it all

I keep reaching out my hand

Waiting in line, playing it safe

I keep running faster

Just to get by, wasting away

I keep reaching out my hand

I keep running faster

But I am finding nothing there

In places I've been chasing after

It's always hard to change your point of view

I can't live here anymore

Set up to fall, to fall

But I can't keep myself away 'cause I want it all

Is there anybody else who's tired of living for themselves
