lyrics

Shining like a diamond as I strut down the hall,
Jump back quickly or you’re taking a fall,
Got a sea of faces and they all know my name,
Can’t keep up with me you’re taking the blame,
Ride that rocket,
I’m high above the ground,
Never coming down.

Everybody bragging how they’re tougher than pain,
Dumb dumb chatter ‘bout to drive me insane,
Can’t quite figure what my future is,
All I know’s it’ll be better than this.
One year longer,
Till I get away,
Praying for the day.

CHORUS:
And I’m flying to the moon on a patchwork balloon,
Everybody’s saying “Hey clean robo, get out of my way!”
Got a thunderbolt of wonder growing under my skin,
That’s what I get for being seventeen again,
That’s what I get for being seventeen again,

Look for Ryan’s Nissan in the usual spot,
Searching for my courage in the parking lot,
Has it been three years since I last said her name,
Duck, run for cover and pretend it’s a game.
Don’t fight think it,
Cause I’m not like them,
Bell rings again.
