I separate my dreams from adolescent schemes Trying to find a way to work it out I'm lying in a daze, I'm floatin' through a maze No one hears my voice I scream and shout The possibilities The birds and all the bees The volleyball team, the girl scouts And all around the world to every boy and girl Is a stranger, danger up ahead I hope the world isn't sinking I need a little more time I have all these strange feelings That's the story of my life High school is a curse A school bus is a hearse The weekend is a prize that I wait for I guess I'll see the nurse Before it all gets worse I'm planning my escape before the bell It really hurts my brain This constant social strain The difference between my heaven and hell It's a stranger, danger up ahead I hope the world isn't sinking I need a little more time I have all these strange feelings That's the story of my life They're bottled up inside And now I'm breaking They're bottled up inside And now I'm breaking They're bottled up inside And now I'm breaking They're bottled up inside And now I'm breaking They're bottled up inside And now I'm breaking I'm breaking I hope the world isn't sinking I need a little more time I have all the strange feelings That's the story of my life I hope the world isn't sinking I need a little more time I have all the strange feelings That's the story of my life
