Verse (4x)
this time its on my own
minutes from somewhere
else
somewhere I made a wish
with lucky denver mint
Chorus (2x)
you're not bigger than
this, not better
why can't you learn?
Verse (4x)
hurry, go on ahead
good things won't let
you wait
I'll catch up when we
get home
at home i'll leave,
a dollar underwater keeps on dreaming for me
Chorus (4x)
Bridge (4x)
why can't I learn?
Chorus (4x)
Drum outro
