I've been living by the corner of the street for years

After school trying to act so cool

As their mopeds and their heartbeats speed up

Making plans for conquering the world

With my latest brand of indie-rock

But my country drowns in wealth

So I'm a feeling like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird

Been avoiding all the big decisions

Sitting by my computer screen

If I'm tired of it there's television
A B
Oh, the times I've wasted

Sitting by the step for someone to stop

When it looks like I'm waiting for the sky to drop

With everyday that's slippin' away

I'm stuck with just a lil' less time to say
