lyrics

im gonna sleep all day
shut eye's a joke
why can't i just stay in one place
im staying awake
i got all i need
but my mind just aches

its not fair
im low then im high
but i wanna feel alright all the time
not fine one day then totally not okay
who's pulling these strings?
im calling foul play

everything feels like im drowning
i cant breathe is this how it aught to be
22 years old im going for 50 more
but its not easy
all this saltwater makes me queasy

its not fair
im low then im high
but i wanna feel alright all the time
not fine one day then totally not okay
who's pulling these strings?
im calling foul play

why cant i be steady
i try to be steady
but im stuck with you
and youre stuck with me
its how itll be for eternity
i got to love the man in the mirror
and i just hope he loves me back too
