I wanna climb to the top of a broken-down building

And watch the debris fall into the bay

We can watch the sunset together

We can pretend it’ll all be okay

I wanna burn all my earthly possessions

Drive north and change my name

They’ll find my body in a broken down bus in Alaska

Forever the family shame

Falling asleep standing up on my commute

Daydreaming between customers at work

There’s gotta be more to life than this

Watch the sun come up from freeway traffic

And wonder if this is all I’ll ever be

Rooted in place forever

Always telling only the same story

They say we’re all defined by our hometowns

No matter how far away you run

Did my grandparents have the same nightmares

Before they crossed the border alone?

I don’t want to feel like this anymore

I don’t want to live like this anymore

I wanna get on my bike and ride ‘til I disappear into nothing

I don’t want to feel like this anymore

I don’t want to live like this anymore

Just wanna drive forever in a van across the country

I don’t want to feel like this anymore

I don’t want to live like this anymore

I wanna create just one thing that amounts to something

I don’t want to feel like this anymore (feel like this anymore)

I don’t want to live like this anymore (live like this anymore)

I don’t wanna hate myself anymore (ate myself anymore)

So I won’t
