Lyrics:
Tell my mother I won’t be home soon
Donate the clothes in the corner of the room
Can’t spend another day pretending like
I’m not just waiting

This is never where I thought I’d be
Blowing the candles out on twenty three
Staring holes inside the same old scenes
At familiar faces

Don’t forget I still got dreams
To hop the fence and up the trees
While you’re sleeping on me
I’m believing in the changes
And I’ll be like a pantomime
I’ll act it out for real this time
While you’re sleeping on me
I’m believing in the changes

I warned my brother about complacency
Don’t take for granted any day you breathe
Ten thousand hours doesn’t work real well
Unless you’d master that shit for free

And every single day bury the past in dirt
Be well intentioned with your efforts and please keep your word
This life is a lease don’t put no money down
It is all temporary

It's true the sky isn’t grey yet
You can love and hate it
But keep smiling and waving

And don’t forget you still got dreams
To hop the fence and up the trees
While they’re sleeping on you
And you’ll be like a pantomime
You’ll act it out for real this time
While they’re sleeping on you
You’re believing in the changes

Tell my mother I won’t be home soon
Donate the clothes in the corner of the room
Can’t spend another day pretending like
I’m not just waiting
