I once knew a man who had his whole world in little bags
he took them out, and every night he made sure that he felt alive, well rest assured
he don't come around here anymore
I use to think I'd never be
but now it seems that he is me

And we all know
the story goes
we toss and turn and every night, just feel like giving up the fight and I

I need a little more room to breathe I never thought I could be 21 and say that I'm still

I once knew a girl
who was so caught in her own world
she used the drug that she called love
it was everything she was dreaming of
until one day her love
got up and walked away
what use to be security
just ended her reality

And we all know
the story goes
we toss and turn and every night, just feel like giving up the fight and I

I need a little more room to breathe I never thought I could be 21 and say that I'm still waiting now

Don't worry because before long, well everything that's right will soon be wrong

So, tell me there's more to my whole life than finding ways to stay alive I know that I can't be as desperate as I seem
