I try to live up to the times Ive seen
But Im feeling broke and seventeen
Reduced to things I have to do
Always the eyes, never the view
They say that youre not really choosing me
Youre biding time and using me
But if thats why youre here
Girl, I dont mind
Come back next year
Wake up one day
Cause I got no other way to make you need me
Wake up one day
And its not your job to make things easy
Wake up one day
With some grand vision of motives and irony
And no one in love with me
I stood on tried and true philosophies
When I shouldve been down on my knees
You push and I feel like I should shove
And are we gonna be left with anything like love?
Wake up one day
Cause I got no better way to make you need me
Wake up one day
And its not your job to make things easy
Wake up one day
With some grand vision of motives and irony
And no one in love with me
