The trip started well, they packed up their bags and packed into the cars
Made the six hour drive to wrap up the year with friends that they love

That's when everyone tries to be someone else
I say, what's so bad about being yourself?
they'll send their innocence away until a rainy day or when their caught
And maybe in a couple years they'll understand the truth they forgot

Then the hour approached the good kids turned bad the bad kids turned worse
They'd like chaos to rule cause no one feels guilt when mayhem ensues

that's when everyone tries to be someone else
I say, what's so bad about being yourself?

They'll send their innocence away until a rainy day or when their caught
And maybe in a couple years they'll understand the truth they forgot

I can't believe that this is true
What did you think that this would make you cool?
and while you're living in excess
all the anthems you profess you don't possess

Everyone tries to be someone else,
what's so bad about being yourself?
They'll send their innocence away until a rainy day or when their caught
And maybe in a couple years they'll understand the truth they forgot
