Vermillion Skye - 19 And Getting By lyrics

Out of school - Stay up late - Have no rules - I'm 19 Take my time - Won't be told what I like - I'm 19 Finally, a chance to be away from home Far from their clutches, on my own I'm getting by, told you, no need to call, I got your pictures Tore up your check, don't need your charity You might think it's hopeless, but the band is getting noticed Friends say we'll be big stars some day Mrs. Green down the hall has a daughter in college She's been dating a DJ's brother No promises made, but I think she'll deliver our songs to this guy He might just consider giving a listen and putting us out on the air We'd be there But I'm getting by, no lie, evenings are booked, you get the picture My girlfriend and I are talking about her moving in She's a local waitress, hopes to see us famous Together we'll have more than enough Because I saw an ad in a bakery window They're looking to fill the late shift I can work until morning and sleep all day Get up and make contacts so the band can play I found a place, the perfect apartment, it's down by the water Got a view of the alley and bugs in the kitchen Stains on the ceiling and no air-conditioning What you'd expect for a struggling musician completely committed To making it big Oh, it's home I'm getting by, so sad, we couldn't connect, I'll send you some pictures I'm hardly around, there's so much going on I'm getting by...I'm getting by...I'm getting by Like to play music loud - Not ashamed - I'm 19 Don't eat right - Never home - Money's tight - I'm 19
