lyrics

I won't pretend that I've got this figured out.
I'm still counting on my fingers, and staring into space,
And talking to myself aloud.

And we've been holding out, yeah we've been holding on,
We've been going on for days.

As for me and my attention span, we're restless 'cause we've long outgrown this place.

Most folks wanna stay at home,
And keep up with their TV shows.
Most folks stay the same their whole life.

But if we work 9-5 everyday,
And we panic when our hair turns gray.
Though there's a heartbeat down deep inside,
I can hardly feel that I'm alive.

Go to bed you lush and forget all of the facts,
Wake up early Sunday morning and go take it all back.

We're self-professed sinners and we're coming out to play.
Just don't forget to pray all of your vices far away.

Most folks wanna stay at home,
And keep up with their TV shows.
Most folks stay the same their whole life.

But if we work 9-5 everyday,
And we panic when our hair turns gray.
Though there's a heartbeat down deep inside,
I can hardly feel that I'm alive.

There's gotta be something more than just living to survive
In a place where people are digging holes where their dreams will go to die.

We perpetuate a cycle 'cause we think that there's a reason
To spend our lives stationary people, so we can enjoy our weekends.

Most folks wanna stay at home,
Well most folks will end up alone.

Though there's a heartbeat down deep inside,
I can hardly feel that I'm alive.
