Pacing the pavement
I savor the waste and the moments that you gave me
My mind has been clouded with the thoughts and the memories I can't talk about
The slip of the tongue
Now I’m in trouble again
I carry the stem of what was left to condemn
I’m young and I’m dumb
So sh** just happens to me
I’ll struggle with who I want to be
Life's so much easier I'll have you believe
That everything's different when you turn eighteen
I've tossed and I've turned
Trying to find my way out
I paint on my smile that I wear around
The day I was born, the world stood still held its breath
Stripped all my pride and then it left me for dead
Pretend I’m not all alone or you still lay in my bed
Confuse all my thoughts so that you’re not in my head
Life's so much easier I'll have you believe
That everything's different when you turn eighteen
I've tossed and I've turned
Trying to find my way out
I paint on my smile that I wear around
I’ve been down for a long time
Now probably happy
In the end it’s the same so let me stop wash rinse repeat
Life's so much easier I'll have you believe
That everything's different when you turn eighteen
I've tossed and I've turned
Trying to find my way out
I paint on my smile that I wear around
