lyrics
I can’t sit still
with all these running through my head
the dreams I seek
are the ones that I’m supposed to be
there’s a grumbling in my head I can’t shake
there’s a voice inside that’s telling me I’ve got to get to there somehow
I’m still young
but I’m getting older all the time
passing by
there’s a meaning to my life, I know there is
all at once I feel this is the end
and I don’t want to be
sitting ’round and watching life just passing me
and I’m in a room without a window and doors that don’t have keys
well, i’m spinning webs of wonder, every second lay here dreaming
hoping all these years aren’t wasted
I hold my head and sing… na na na na na na
make my name
maybe I’ll write it on my hands
I’m trying hard
I’m setting up myself for once I might just get up off my ass
’cause I don’t want to be…
with all these running through my head
the dreams I seek
are the ones that I’m supposed to be
there’s a grumbling in my head I can’t shake
there’s a voice inside that’s telling me I’ve got to get to there somehow
I’m still young
but I’m getting older all the time
passing by
there’s a meaning to my life, I know there is
all at once I feel this is the end
and I don’t want to be
sitting ’round and watching life just passing me
and I’m in a room without a window and doors that don’t have keys
well, i’m spinning webs of wonder, every second lay here dreaming
hoping all these years aren’t wasted
I hold my head and sing… na na na na na na
make my name
maybe I’ll write it on my hands
I’m trying hard
I’m setting up myself for once I might just get up off my ass
’cause I don’t want to be…
