Borders and Boundaries lyrics

Let me give you some insight into my insides
I haven't been this confused in such a long time
can't believe I've spent just losing my mind
I can't believe that 10 years have really gone by
it's been a long time

(chorus)
Had a plan for every year I've been alive
a million more I've built up inside of me
there's a million more that I have bottled up
and that I've fucked up

He got in his car and told himself to drive
gotta leave it all behind if he wants to feel alive
19 and lost and never thought he'd ever leave this place
vacant mind from endless grind so what's to lose anyways
Another fast food job?
Another 8 to 5 day?

Ten minutes and two miles is just a mile too many today
and you can see why it's easy to say
y'know that hell looks a lot like L.A.

And I
I wonder if you'd understand
If I said I'll never go
Never go along again
And if I told you all that I believe in
And gave all you all my reasons
And always had an answer
An honest answer for all of them

Sometimes you just want to belong
At any loss or any cost

Yeah I've
I've made mistakes before
But I just can't seem to remember them anymore
And I've followed everyone's lead before

Well the scene here he wants her back
he's trying to use the phone
she's hanging up he's given up
he should've known
looking lost then he wanders off
and tries to sing along to some song he's never heard
but just keeps mouthing all the words

It gets worse before it's all over
I know I'll get through this somehow
It gets worse before it's all over
nothing's gonna change her mind for now

There's been borders and there'll be boundaries
and there's been times misdirection's found me
There's been clear heads and there's be clean slates
and times we'd find we'd pass the night away thinking

Everyone here hates everyone here
for doing the same thing that they do

There's been new starts and they'll be no sleep
and there's been times when inspiration's found me

[Verse 1]
I can't help but think back to the
The advice that I got from my dad
He said Time goes by so fast,
in the blink of an eye, so never close your eyes.
And I always wanted something,
something more than 50 hours,
every week and a paid vacation,
on the Jersey shoreline.

[Chorus] (x2)
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition,
I'll never be the better man.

[Verse 2]

When all the things that you've been thinking
has you so confused and so unglued
your head is spinning
well we've all felt the same inside
I've been on that ledge countless times
and i know what that feels like

you're on your own, can't make it through this world all alone
Is this thing on?
Is this thing on at all??

when all your friends dont have the answers

And I swear it's the last time
and I swear it's my last try
and we'll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
then we'll talk about leaving town
yeah we'll talk about leaving
I swear it's the last time
and I swear it's my last try

We rode across that bridge all night
we talked our way through city lights
traced all the lines, were killing time

Breaking down from every insult that you've taken
from one sided conversations
Burning out from all the minor misconceptions
that just play on your frustrations
your self doubt has your head so turned around
there's not a catch phrase that can save you
and it's not that hard to figure out
disappointment doesn't have to cut to a commercial now
I'm breaking down I'm burning out

We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong
Remembered forever as shoo-bop sha whada whadda yippidy boom da boom
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop that's the way it should be
Waooo Yeah

We're one of a kind like dip da dip da dip do whap de dobby do
Our names are signed like boogy boogy boogy boogy shooby shoo wap shoo wap

(chinese voice comes over P.A.)

And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try
and we'll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks
then we'll talk about leaving town
yeah we'll talk about leaving
I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try

We rode across that bridge all night
we talked our way through city lights

Ideals are like opinions and beliefs just like tradition
Sometimes both are not enough
Faded stickers and crumpled flyers They've become the reminder
that there's an anthem in us that fits
the flag we've flown for years
I've always had this same old song
Stuck in my head for so damn long
A soundtrack to whether I'm right or wrong
Ideals are like opinions beliefs just like tradition

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
And just outside I can hear the sound,
of the early morning street,
becoming way too loud.
Yea the hum, of the engines in the cars,
on the street, Yea.
On the street.

And with this cigarette that I just lit,

So let’s hit the streets tonight
And I’ll show you where I lost my job
And where I got chased by cops
So we’ll jump the fence at 13th and 10th
To see where we played our first show

I told you everybody loses sight of
All the how it’s been and never was

So let’s hit the streets tonight
And I’ll show you where I drank on the job
And hung out in that parking lot

Well I thought all my friends were sane
Then I met this kid, fourth grade
Let's go throw rocks through the neighbour's windows
I never wanted to go
He would always make me. he would always make me

I wanna know what you were thinking
I wanna know what you were drinking
Mark Cruce Have another drink Mark Cruce
He's the guy passing out and crashing on your couch

So she's been around
Lived in every town
And she always seems to know
So she does a zine
Says she's in the scene
And she goes to the cool punk rock shows
And it's not like I've seen the world
And it's not cuz she's a girl
It's just cuz no ones always right
And I'm almost never right so she can't be
Yeah he's been around
Likes to hear the sound
Of his voice annoying me

I can see it all right now
his mom and dad so proud of his son and his new found wife
and I wonder if after all these years
will his dad still give him a pep talk for his wedding night?
I can smell his cousin's polo mixing with his grandpa's old spice and the
Swedish meatballs look so tempting that his two fat aunts might even fight
and his uncles have all gone drinkin'
