Flip-Top Box

No one ever saw me as anything
Only as all of the things they wanna see
And now I understand it goes hand-in-hand
Angst inspiring my thoughts to take a stand.
Now as I drive around hometown familiar streets,
Hanging in the same old spots throughout the week ideas repeat.
And you can’t run away from your maturity
No matter how you put off growing up.

And all along I always thought I had to stay to get away, now
It makes me feel like am stuck here because I never thought I’d ever, 

Be anyone, go anywhere, do anything
I live life without a care, ‘cause
I’m still around, in this forgotten town.
Here dreaming of things I never thought
I’d ever be anyone, go anywhere, do anything
I live life without a care, ‘cause
I’m still around, in this forgotten town.

And as I pass the stream down where we used to play
I remember summer nights we swore one day we’d get away.
And time, it moved us on, but I’m still hanging on
Waiting for any unsure fate, sometimes I wish I went along.
And then on that regret, I light my cigarette
Stare up at the midnight sky and let my mind relax a bit
‘Cause this is where I am, and I’ll be here again
My unstable reality’s my own.
And looking back someday I hope to see my path as one less traveled
But I don’t feel I walk alone here because I never thought 

I’d ever be anyone, go anywhere, do anything
I live life without a care, ‘cause
I’m still around, in this forgotten town.
