When I take highway 95 to Vero Beach, FL
I'm not sure how to feel
Because its nights like these when I'm alone
That make me wish I had more time, to spend alone
And there's a point with your friends
When they don't seem like friends
So I head out and take a deep breath
It's just this city, I say
When I keep my mouth shut, I jump at a chance to speak up When I'm not needed, and no one cares
I've gotten used to their awkward stares
This room is too small for you to understand
How you're holding back your life with what's in your hand
And though I take it one day at a time I know
That this is life and there is always room for us to grow
Another year seems far too long
For a man whose heart is half as strong
As the boy he grew up from
So I'll just be happy with what I've got
Hanging out with my friends and smoking pot
Makes me glad that I'm alive
And all at once it hits me and I'm scared inside
That I'm losing myself and wasting my time
So in a drunken slur I mumble out loud
That I am thankful for these nights and you all make me so proud
And I later watch my friend slip out the front door
But I'm under the weather so I don't wonder what for
But as I hear the engine roar and the car turn on
In the morning I'll wake up and my friend is gone
