my friend left town, he's colorado bound
but i've got my own direction
and you know that it's not getting
any easier but "please" and "sir"
and "thankyou ma'am i think i can"
will get you far so hide your scars
it makes a person who they are
i've listened long enough to know
to forget everything you're told
so pick it up pack it up and go
i'm feeling like i'm way too old
i'm tired of living in a yesterday
to see where i'm coming from
tomorrow is another day
tomorrow never comes
yesterday's a memory so live it for today
today should be the present but i give it all away
and when everybody's gone i know
i wish that it were years ago
i've walked these halls 69 million times
i won't miss them at all and i'm glad to be outside
cuz i'm a legend in expression
but i won't give the impression
that i know just what i'm doing
when you're tired of all my screwing around
becuz i'm bound to drag my future down
and you've got such good intentions
but i never pay attention
everybody's got a good idea
to me it never was that clear
what's the point of staying here
when everybody dissappears
so now i'm walking around
what used to be my town
i'm kinda tired but it is only
4 a.m. i'm kinda lonely and
i don't know where i'm going
but i'll get there ever slowly
and when nobody here knows me
then there's no one left to know
and when all is said and done
you know that i'll be up and gone
just like everyone
i've seen get up and go
