I Don't Wanna

about

Single from my upcoming EP, Something Tangible.

lyrics

I just wanna kill some time
But time has the upper hand
I don't wanna fall into that trap
Don't wanna fall like the other man
I just wanna be someone
But the world is just too big
I don't wanna get lost in memory
Don't wanna take it on the chin

And I don't wanna be too comfortable
I'm young, I don't wanna be too careful
What a dangerous state of mind
And I ain't got the time
To see the years go by
I'm damned if I wake up on that day in July
And I find that everything has passed me by
Oh not this time

Life gives you lemons
So don't cut down the tree
At least that's what they said to me
But I don't even mind
What good is a lemon when I'm choking on the rinds?
And I don't wanna waste my time
Getting wasted every night
But I don't wanna miss the wonder years
Ain't going down without a fight

And I don't wanna be too comfortable
I'm young, I don't wanna be too careful
What a dangerous state of mind
And I ain't got the time
To see the years go by
I'm damned if I wake up on that day in July
And I find that everything has passed me by
Oh not this time

Oh can't you see
This isn't me
But it's exactly where I'm supposed to be
I'll wait and see
What my life brings
At the ripe age of twenty-three

I don't wanna be too comfortable
I don't wanna be too comfortable

No, I don't wanna be too comfortable
I'm young, I don't wanna be too careful
What a dangerous state of mind
And I ain't got the time
To see the years go by
I'm damned if I wake up on that day in July
And I find that everything has passed me by

Oh not this time
Oh not this time, no
Not this time
