Started with an earnest escape
The ignition was running I was yearning for change
I’ve gotten sick on this place
Choked on these stale remains

Nothing seems permanent
So I could never understand what it was you meant
When you said things would always be this way
And I had no say

If I could find a happy medium
I’d have a hint at what I should be

Half drunk on ideals done
The type of morals wasted on the young
Always too wasted to comply
Even though we all tried

Started with an honest mistake
I was hung over on what my stomach could take
You were already hanging up on it
You were ready to quit

Nothing seems relevant
So I could never understand what it was you meant
When you said it was these moments that could count
And mine just wouldn’t amount

If I could find a happy medium
I’d have a hint at what I should be

Half drunk on ideals done
The type of morals wasted on the young
Always too wasted to comply
Even though we all tried

But there was never anybody to blame
In the end it was always very easy to tame
We’re all just living for today
Though you may think it a shame

Cause I was yearning for change
I was yearning for change
I was yearning for change
