[Verse]
Flashback to skipping my classes
And pacing my floor
I loved a blonde boy in high school
But not anymore
Now I plan out my life with every guy in the grocery store
Who looks my age
Or looks my way
And I smoke out the window
When my parents are home
Leave a light on at night if I'm sleeping alone
And my mailbox is full
But no one calls my phone anyway
[Chorus]
Think I burned out awhile ago
Maybe I'll re-light one day
[Verse]
So I take shit from the people
Who talk to me like I'm ten
What if I write a good song
Then never do it again?
Every time that I think I'll snap
I just bend into place
Will I ever break?
I take back roads to work to avoid the left turns
Leave my old friends on read
When they say they're concerned
Only listen to songs where I know all the words by heart
[Chorus]
Think I burned out awhile ago
So where's my fresh start?
[Verse]
Oh, oh
And I zone out completely while watching TV
Time slips through my hands
Barely touches me
I can't picture myself past the age of 33
And I go through the motions
And movements alone
Leave a light on at night
Just in case you come home
Clear my mailbox for you
But you don't call my phone anyway
[Chorus]
Think I burned out awhile ago
Maybe I'll re-light one day
Flashback to skipping my classes
And pacing my floor
I loved a blonde boy in high school
But not anymore
Now I plan out my life with every guy in the grocery store
Who looks my age
Or looks my way
And I smoke out the window
When my parents are home
Leave a light on at night if I'm sleeping alone
And my mailbox is full
But no one calls my phone anyway
[Chorus]
Think I burned out awhile ago
Maybe I'll re-light one day
[Verse]
So I take shit from the people
Who talk to me like I'm ten
What if I write a good song
Then never do it again?
Every time that I think I'll snap
I just bend into place
Will I ever break?
I take back roads to work to avoid the left turns
Leave my old friends on read
When they say they're concerned
Only listen to songs where I know all the words by heart
[Chorus]
Think I burned out awhile ago
So where's my fresh start?
[Verse]
Oh, oh
And I zone out completely while watching TV
Time slips through my hands
Barely touches me
I can't picture myself past the age of 33
And I go through the motions
And movements alone
Leave a light on at night
Just in case you come home
Clear my mailbox for you
But you don't call my phone anyway
[Chorus]
Think I burned out awhile ago
Maybe I'll re-light one day
