A Day Away - Better Off This Way lyrics

Well, I sat down in the middle of the town, And watched as life pa**ed by. An old man lied right next to me. He had no clothes, he was alone. So I started to think about my self. What if I end up like him? Would I stand to be alive? Or would I fade away and die. I don't know what to do. I'm feeling like I'm growing up too fast, And I don't know what I'm gonna be. But time will show me where to go, And guide me to my destiny. I may be better off this way. And right across the street from me, Walked a wealthy woman. She had money. I could see it just by the way she was. So I started to think about my self. What if I end up like her? Would I stand to be alive? Or would I fade away and die...
