M**I just wanna live a day as a blonde

I'll look like Jessica Chastain

Get mistaken for a man with a job

Taking sessions on my lunch break

You won't believe what an apartment would cost

When living right by the freeway

Watching TV in my Dollar Store socks

I don't get out much these days

Convince myself that I've been talking too much

Picture I was a replay

It's pretty lonely just writing a song

When you know your friends are all moving away

And I just wanna see a picture of mom

From when she was my age

Was she hard to get as everyone thought?

Was she happier in those days?

Sleeping, getting paid

Subway's running late

Leaving the rest up to question

Just to find that you ain't got it made

Weather ain't been bad

Floss and take a bath

Leave all the rest up to question

Just to find you hardly ever laugh

M**I just wanna be the type to forget

Oh, the embarrassing montage

Seeing pictures from when I was a kid

Down at the beach with my brother

And I don't wanna be a ghost when I'm dead

I think I'm tired of jump scares

Sitting quiet at the foot of your bed

Watch you crying from the top of the stairs

Work out, pay the rent

Thinking about your ex

Leaving the rest up to question

Just to find that you got nothing left

Fall back out of love

Take too many drugs

Leave all the rest up to question

Just to find that you ain't young enough

And when I'm feeling sad

Just remember that

I've got songs to hide behind until the feelings pass

It ain't much of a life

But maybe once or twice

I've felt magic touching pen to paper in my time
