You have the distinction of nearing your extinction
Sometimes it feels like you’re the only one
You want to talk face-to-face but the rest of the human race
Seems like it lives inside another world
You have one affliction and that’s your addiction
Sometimes you laugh and say it’s all in fun
You know you have to change the pace
and look yourself right in the face
And try to stop being on the run
You don’t have to bet it all or shop at the Big and Tall
You don’t have to blast yourself out into space
You don’t have to sing the blues
You don’t have to wear those shoes
You just have to find yourself a better place
You don’t have to change everything or grow yourself a pair...
of wings. You don’t have to feel like your life has just begun
You don’t have to make the news
You don’t have to pick and choose
You just have to find yourself a better place
I know it’s familiar and oh, so peculiar
but would it feel so bad to feel so good?
You don’t have to be the queen or king
You just have to do one thing
You just have to find yourself a better place
