instead

Starting from the top smokes billowing into the air
This is getting old and I'm losing my care
Dreaming all the time I want to release the record of the year
But that means I got to work hard and I can't do that while you're here

And it goes like
Hey you when you gonna come back
Running around town I'm tired of feeling upset
Wasting time thinking of how it could be
Instead I've got to focus on fixing all these problems
You're getting into my head
Can I listen to me instead

Everybody's bored so we smoke instead of breathing in the air
Can't say I blame them there's nothing to do here
They say they really care yet their the ones who cause the problems
Kids are dying while their trying to get the college board to care
Oh they don't care

And it goes like
Hey you when you gonna come back
Running around town I'm tired of feeling upset
Wasting time thinking of how it could be
Instead I've got to focus on fixing all these problems
You're getting into my head
Can I listen to me instead

And I'm falling pretty hard
Will this land be soft or rough

And it goes like
Hey you when you gonna come back
Running around town I'm tired of feeling
Hey you when you gonna come back
Running around town I'm tired of feeling upset
Wasting time thinking of how it could be
Instead I've got to focus on fixing all these problems
You're getting into my head
Can I listen to me instead

Can I listen
Can I listen
