I really have to clean up my room
You know its been so long since ive seen my floor
Its getting kind of scary in fact i suspect
That when i finally clear away i wont know her anymore
How well have grown so far apart
From those early days with the fresh new start
So in the end it wont matter at all
So why should i bother with the rise and the fall
So i quietly lay back down
And watch tv

But these are the things we tell ourselves
Eventual stories designed to amuse
Its a game we play and we play it well
In fact were so damn good that we try to lose
So we can keep hiding
So we can survive
And keep on believing
Someday well go outside & drive
Gonna go outside & drive...

I have resolved not to leave my house
Till my floor comes back and my room is clean
So im really kind of glad that my tvs here
While i concoct my plan to fulfill my dream
Now wont that be wonderful when ill finally be done
I just cant wait for it then ill start to have fun
Its getting hard lately to concentrate
All my appointments cancelled cause im horribly late
You know i think i need a prison
In order to dream of being free

But these are the things we tell ourselves
Eventual stories designed to amuse
Its a game we play and we play it well
In fact were so damn good that we try to lose
So we can keep hiding
So we can survive
And keep on believing
Someday well go outside & drive
