lyrics

BILLIE

Why can't I catch a break?
Every move I make
is out of time,
I find a new place
and it's at the end of its life
Well this sure turned out great

Why is every choice a mistake?
I meet some new people,
Maybe friends
I'll probably never speak to them again
Well I guess that depends
but I don't have a lot of faith

Does it ever
get better than this?
Where’s my suburban bliss?
Do I ever get a chance to put my feet up?
I'm running just to keep up…

...And will I ever get a...
Chance to know you better?
I’m sure I'll think about it
But somehow I doubt it
Even though there’s nothing stopping me but fear

What a shame that it's about to disappear...
I was starting to wonder
If I could be happy
Here
I guess I’ll wait and see.
