So tired of trying to keep up with someone else's pace
   you got a new tattoo, but the same old face
   complacency is the enemy and I've been acting old
   there's got to be more to life than doing what we're told
   you can't bottle this - it always slips away
   shut out - of a dream we had not long ago
   there's nothing to prove, nothing to show
   we've been told all this before
   so why am I still keeping score
   constraints are all around you every single day
   when you're feeling overloaded you can't run away
   and everywhere you go there's another wall in life
   no matter where you look there's no end in sight
   you can't bottle this - it always slips away
   shut out - of a dream we had not long ago
   nothing to prove, nothing to show
   we've been told all this before
   and I'm still keeping score
   I understand you've got pressure's
   but I can't accept your reaction
   it's been a long road
   is it all a distraction?
   birth, school, work, death
   these are things we all have to accept
   and sometimes it feels like you're hitting a wall
   I can't make sense of it all
   shut up!
   it's another time and another place
   get a different view and a brand new take
   it's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
   brand new day
   it's a brand new day
   brand new day
