Everything's coming up roses Everything's coming to a bitter, bitter end I'm searching for the problem and I'm looking for a positive Maybe I'll see a few old friends With more faith in God, I would tell you that This was the rapture and we've been left behind Oh, why are we so young with tired, sunken, baggy eyes?
So I'll give myself a name Something stupid and pretentious like mawce spelled with a C And I'll hope all the cool kids who graduated But stayed judgemental will finally accept me
And I might be flying home today, but I'm not going home 'Cause everything I thought I knew has proven to be wrong And I'm reckless to the point of flying Straight into the over-drinking nights that leave you feeling torn I'm leaving, I'm leaving I'm leaving for New York
Step off the plane Hop into the sedan I return to the house, not a kid not a man Screaming: Everyone hear it for the eighty-four five Where complacency rules And the kids only die If they stray from the mark If they keep themselves clean And they tore down the park Now I'm stuck in my dreams
And I might be flying home today, but I'm not going home 'Cause everything I thought I knew has proven to be wrong And I'm desperate to the point of flying Straight into the over-drinking nights that leave you feeling torn I'm leaving, I'm leaving, for New York
An orange and yellow armada of delivery trucks Is all I can see from the window of this uber I'm reminded that the world won't stop for me But no one ever really stops to think
I might be flying home today, but I'm not going home Cause everything I thought I knew has proven to be wrong And I'm desperate to the point of flying Straight into the over-drinking nights that leave you feeling torn I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving for New York I'm leaving for New York I'm leaving for New York
