[Verse 1]

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs

And everybody thinks it's funny

I don't get mad

I don't laugh cause you don't shave your legs

But everybody thinks it's funny

No need to get mad

I don't spend my time with anyone

Who doesn't think I'm wonderful

Or somewhat cash refundable at times


[Chorus]

Now I'm out here counting airplanes

Trying to make sense of the change

And I don't wanna be just anybody

So don't try to figure me out

I won't try to figure you out

I don't wanna be some average anybody


[Verse 2]

Now I got friends that ride into the storm

And ride out of the storm with nothing

They rode into the storm with

And there seems to be a price for everything

You get what you pay for then you pay for

What you already thought you bought before


[Chorus]

Now I'm out here counting airplanes

Trying to make sense of the change

And I don't wanna be just anybody

So don't try to figure me out

I won't try to figure you out

I don't wanna be some average anybody


[Bridge]

When you're up between the new skyline

The city lights and the warm sunshine

It's a long way down

When you can count on one hand what you love

And can count on who you love to help you on your long way down


[Outro]

Well you end up counting airplanes

Trying to keep up with these changes

I don't wanna be with anybody else

So don't try to figure me out

I won't try to figure you out

I don't wanna be some average anybody

Yeah Heah

I don't wanna be with anybody else

When you're up between the new sky line

The city lights and the warm sunshine

It's a long way down

It's a long way down

It's a long way down
