Down the street,
Almost everywhere,
Fitful dreams,
And nightmares
Work our fingers to the bone,
Fall asleep when we get home,
Wonderin' is worth it?
Set alarms,
And think of breakfast.
Peer into the crib,
Leave the door wide,
Try not to worry,
Try not to slide.
Work our fingers to the bone,
Fall asleep when we get home,
Wonderin' is worth it?
Set alarms,
And think of breakfast.
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here
Is it gonna be different?
It's gonna be different.
Is it gonna be different?
Worried children,
Prone to hide,
Try not to worry,
Try not to slide
Slammin' lockers,
Go for a ride,
Try not to worry,
Try not to hide
Work our fingers to the bone,
Fall asleep when we get home,
Wonderin' is worth it?
Set alarms,
And think of breakfast.
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here
Is it gonna be different?
It's gonna be different.
Wonderin' what we're doin' here,
Wonderin' what we're doin' here
Is it gonna be different?
It better be different.

I keep walkin' away
You keep standin' right in front of me
Can't say what it takes
To keep me from floatin' right out of here
Love's a complex emotion
'Specially when you don't have it down pat, an' that's me
If I look like I'm caught in the headlights
Simply because, yes, that's true
I know these can be long nights
Keep lookin' around; all I see is you
Love's a complex emotion
'Specially when I've always fallen flat, yeah that's me
I keep walkin' away
Always trapped inside me
You keep thinkin' what to say
No worries; no need, 'cuz
Love's a complex emotion
I believe I mentioned that, but you know that's me
I'm not walkin' away
That's just what you see
A circle looks like a line when it's that far 'round
Don't worry about me, 'cuz
Love's a complex emotion
That's a fact, you know, you see

Think you’ll throw the book at me
I got my greensong
You think you’re gonna bridle me

Raise your hands to the sky, look across the sea
Plant your flag anywhere you want to
It don’t matter to me

Hey, you talkin’ to me?

Cuz, I am to you.

Passion is our gun
We got our greensong.
Under the warm sun
We got our greensong.
Put a letter front of your generation. Whatcha gonna do?
Exactly what I’m asking: Whatcha gonna do?
You think it’s your time now. It’s everyone’s.
It’s everyone’s time now.
