Man,

if

I'm

go-

nna

be

ho-

nest,

I

Dropped

out

of

col-

lege,

found

my-

self

a

whole

new

realm

of

know-

ledge

Down

the

fo-

rest,

fo-

ra-

ging

for

sounds

that

I

can

rhyme

with

o-

range

(Woo!)

Look,

I'm

a

simp-

le

gat-

he-

rer

a-

mong

a

world

of

hun-

ters

Not

a-

bout

cha-

sing

clout,

I'd

rat-

her

gaze

at

clouds

and

feel

the

com-

forts

Uh-

oh,

on

the

tren-

ding

tab,

hope

this

won't

be

en-

ding

bad

Chec-

king

a-

na-

ly-

tics

is

like

wor-

king

in

a

fo-

ren-

sic

lab

Oh

Lord,

life's

get-

ting

hard,

I'm

too

young

for a

cre-

dit

card

And

I

crashed

the

ve-

ry

first

time

I

drove

my

pa-

rents'

car

Teard-

rops,

we've

made

friends

bet-

ween

screens

And

deep

seas,

steal

hearts

while

teens

scream

our

ears

off

You

might-

n't

be-

lieve

it,

a

life

full

of

strea-

ming

is

re-

al

tough

It

feels

rough

some-

times,

but

that's

the

real

stuff

Day

by

day,

put-

tin'

on

a

bra-

ve

face

(Hey!)

Pla-

ying

games,

ta-

pain

stra-

ight

a-

(Yay!)

May-

be

made

mis-

takes

but

it's

A-

o-

(Wait!)

We

all

need

to

take

a

break

If

I'm

gon-

na

be

ho-

I

need

a

lit-

tle

space

to

breathe

And

I'm

li-

ving

and

lo-

my

life

by

the

sea

If

I'm

gon-

I

need

a

lit-

tle

bit

o'

the

breeze

And

I'm

li-

by

the sea

I'm

just

try-

na

keep

my

life

af-

quite

co-

I

feel

the

heat

be-

neath

Know

So

Trea-

Do-

Do-

Don't

take

a

wrong

step

or

you'll

get

im-

(Get impaled)

I'm

just

a

On-

Can't

So
