| I grew up in the 90's at least that's what I tried | |
| looking for ways to be satisfied | |
| I went to San Diego to try out my luck | |
| came back 12 months later and again I was stuck | |
| I felt like a goldfish stuck in a bowl | |
| I was waiting for something that I could control | |
| after 2000 no longer a kid | |
| the world didn't end but something else did | |
| when my father takes off I'm already 19 | |
| he wasn't as happy as I thought he seemed | |
| if this is my screenplay I don't like my role | |
| these are the things that you just can't control | |
| although I feel a lot older I'm just 23 | |
| if you're looking for answers don't come to me | |
| instead of a future I've got a guitar | |
| but dreaming out loud won't get me far | |
| still I feel I'm ready for rock'n roll | |
| there might be something that I can control | |
| by the time I hit 30 I'll have enough | |
| of being a twentysomething in love | |
| my friends will all be married or they will be gone | |
| me, I'll still be wondering what's going on | |
| if that's what it takes then I'll sell my soul | |
| as long as there's something that I can control | |
| one day I'll wake up and I'll be 38 | |
| doing the things I used to hate | |
| the trick to forget the bigger picture is when | |
| you look at everything in close-up as often as you can | |
| our revolution is covered in mold | |
| there's only so much you can control | |
| this is no anthem because anthems are proud | |
| and pride isn't something that this is about | |
| I shouldn't care shouldn't care | |
| but I do and that's sometimes too hard to bear | |
| still walking the same road with my shoes full of holes | |
| just waiting for something that we can control | |
| if I ever reach 50 or 65 | |
| too early to tell if I'll still be alive | |
| we were born in the 80's and now we are here | |
| my generation's dream will disappear | |
| I'm at a graveyard passing the rows | |
| a silent surrender we'll never get close | |
| this is my story you swallowed it whole | |
| about us feeling the need to be in control |
