Doing things just for the story
For the potential of glory
Control until it's overrun
Falling apart without telling anyone
So you turn to the bottle,
Turn to the crowd, or
Make me hate you just in case I fell down
Afraid of opening up,
Afraid of shutting down,
Afraid of being like your parents never leaving this old town
All the kids are pushing to get
Out
Always restless, drive out late
Rushing through every one of your days
Telling me you don't have time
Too bored and stubborn to unwind
It's December 31st
You're somewhere close to your worst
But it's raining and I like
What you make me, make me feel like
But you turn to the bottle,
Turn to the crowd, or
Make me hate you just in case I fell down
Afraid of opening up,
Afraid of shutting down,
Afraid of being like your parents never leaving this old town
All the kids are pushing to get
Out
You said nothing can ever be enough
Couldn't find a single thing you love
You wanna get out
So please don't turn to the bottle,
Turn to the crowd,
Or make me hate you just in case I fell down
Don't be afraid of opening up,
Afraid of shutting down,
Afraid of being like your parents never leaving this old town
All the kids are pushing to get
Out
I know you'll get out
