I broke my cell phone again/ you keep on calling but I’m not answering/ I’m waiting for someone to change/ and it’s not me//
I’m sorry I missed you/ I’ll make up an excuse/ hopefully you’ll believe me, dear/
I was just drinking/ and doing some nothing/ and you want to complain in my ear/
You have got nothing else to do/ and I know how to get rid of you/ at least temporarily//
I broke my cell phone again/ you keep on calling but I’m not answering/ I’m waiting for someone to change/ and it’s not me//
You can agree/ that you and me/ don’t really see eye to eye/
I need my space, you see/ so I don’t go crazy/ and you just don’t see that as wise/
But I just want so more time/ and you think everything is fine/ How are you that blind? //
I broke my cell phone again/ you keep on calling but I’m not answering/ I’m waiting for someone to change/ and it’s not me//
Waiting/ waiting for something to do/ thinking up a better alibi/ something that would sound cool to you/ in all actuality I'm watching my tv/ waiting for a knock at the door/ someone to take care of me//
Today I'm not doing anything at all/ just going sit and watch the sun fall/ sometimes there is just nothing I want to do/ maybe I could watch a little bit of doctor who//
Waiting/ waiting for something to do/ thinking up a better alibi/ something that would sound cool to you/ in all actuality I'm watching my tv/ waiting for a knock at the door/ someone to take care of me//
Maybe I should go out and buy a car/ something that could get our band to the next town bar/ I know you've got to work hard all your life/ but it doesn't always live up to the hype//
Waiting/ waiting for something to do/ thinking up a better alibi/ something that would sound cool to you/ in all actuality I'm watching my tv/ waiting for a knock at the door/ someone to take care of me//
Remember those days down on Jackson Street/ second chance and ted & wally's/ we didn't care as long as we were happy/ something went wrong no doubt about that/ feeling alone and turning our backs/ I left town and I'm hoping you are finally happy//
I'm hoping baby/ you'll find a man/ maybe someone who understands/ but I hope you tread carefully/ and please don't date any.../ artists or writers or any scum like me//
Now and then I bury my head in the sand/ I am troubled I am weak/ other times I feel like nothing could get me down/ then you knock me off my feet//
Now I'm in a new city and loving the scene/ even little part of me wishes you were here to see/ I'm moving on and seeing what will happen/you would not believe it but I'm having a good time/ got me a new band and writing some new rhymes/ if you met me now you'd mistake me for being happy//
I'm hoping baby/ you'll find a man/ maybe someone who understands/ but I hope you tread carefully/ and please don't date any.../ artists or writers or any scum like me//
Now and then I bury my head in the sand/ I am troubled I am weak/ other times I feel like nothing could get me down/ then you knock me off my feet//
shut the door/ I'm fighting for air/ maybe you can get a little bit of my heart/ fight them off/ I'm never prepared/ maybe you can feel a little bit of the start/ I'm felling low/ one shaved the bricks until they're gone/ I'm feeling strong/ maybe it's the burning page I'm on/ we all are living through this mess/ I'm never calling you my own/ we all are living life through distress/ when will we become flesh and bone//
I can't wait to leave this little town/ get my feet back on solid ground/ Can you ever love a freak like me/
Cant wait to leave this town behind//
