lyrics

I wanna’ move out before I get too old
Before my mind goes numb and my heart grows cold
I wanna’ find a place where they’ll nurture my soul
And I wanna’ move out with you

I wanna’ get out before I let you in
Before the world comes crashing at the gates again
I wanna’ start anew in a brand new place
But I wouldn’t mind if you did too

I wanna’ swap hedges for neon lights
Some that don’t work but that’s alright
Not enough room for two lounge chairs
But that’s alright by you

We’ll hit some bars on each Saturday
If you’re not working and if I’ve been paid
Unless you wanna’ see some other friends
And in that case, I guess I do too

But on these nights
When you’ve been crying
I’d go backwards ‘round the world
Just to know you’re gonna’ be alright
And all these lies
You’ve been keeping
We’ll pack away for the night
If they’re gonna’ start another fight

The fridge has been broken for about a week
Your boss keeps calling and you’re losing sleep
I think he’s got a thing for broke employees
Or maybe he’s just got a thing for you (I don't know)

I’m not being jealous, but it just ain’t right
You’re bending over backwards for this fucking guy
I wanna’ go and scrape my keys along his car
But I won’t do it if you don’t want me to

I wanna’ turn my music up so damn loud
That the bastard downstairs can’t hear us shout
The rent’s due on Monday but you bought a TV
I guess that’s okay by me

She said “I don’t wanna’ hurt you but I’m seeing some guy
Who you’re gonna’ hate just because he’s nice
If it doesn’t give you grief in the middle of the night
Then it’s not enough for you”

But on these nights
When you’ve been crying
I’d go backwards ‘round the world
Just to know you’re gonna’ be alright
And all these lies
You’ve been keeping
We’ll pack away for the night
If they’re gonna’ start another fight

We'll pack away for the night
'Cause they're gonna' start another fight

I wanna’ move out before I get too old
Before my mind goes numb and my heart grows cold
I wanna’ find a place where they’ll nurture my soul
And I wanna move out with you
