I can’t call myself the stable person in this place where
Everyone I see looks like a hopeless case
But I’ve been told not to listen to anyone
Whether they’re right or wrong
Just let the night go on

I’m going out of my way to say you lost me
Space out strategically when you’re taking philosophy
When they said don't let anyone indoctrinate you
they meant your kind
But you have that in mind

the dust on this couch triggers my allergies
I told you to keep me here even if I plead
Honey you can't make me stay while I cough up a lung
As long as I don't start to think I belong

Cause I need one last time having the time of my life
Before it’s all downhill, it doesn’t feel like a height
Baby it's really the city kid in me,
Saying you’re nothing like what I’m supposed to be
There’s too much potential all gone to waste
That’s at least what city people say
I’m willing to press down I’m willing to wait
I wouldn’t have to worry if I could keep you away

Every single time I space out and try
To think how I’d go and hit the industry in stride
I notice how you're talking not caring if you're
Presentable
Respectable

Sometimes It’s almost like you exist in a void
If so I honestly wish that I could join
But you float and I need a ground underneath me
Maybe because
it never was

And the buzz from my phone keeps pulling me in
and maybe I'm being rude, oh that's true isn't it
YOU can't influence me if I don't listen
I'll leave if I think that I might be convinced

Cause I need one last time to have the time of my life
It’s downhill from here it doesn’t feel like a height
Baby it's really the city kid in me,
This is not who I was brought up to be
there’s too much potential all gone to waste
That’s at least what city people say
Hoping no one around is lying in wait
I wouldn’t have to worry if I could keep you away

You push the glacier through me
I don’t know if I want this or not
They say you will ruin me
Like it’s not so inevitable
So before I go unheard
Before they see me like a ghost on Earth
Let me go and try to be something more
Let me press it down for as looong
as I can

I need one last time having the time of my life
Before it’s all downhill, it doesn’t feel like a height
Maybe it’s just the city kid in me
But this is not who I was brought up to be
there’s too much potential all gone to waste
That’s at least what city people say
I’m hoping no one around is lying in wait
I wouldn’t have to worry if I could keep you away
