about

It sure was a privilege and a pleasure attending a college with a 4:1 tree to student ratio, but there comes a time in a girl's life when she's got to get out and see some world.

lyrics

You know that feeling you get
when you start thinking too much about
health insurance, or paying back your student loans?

Or maybe you feel like a sell-out
for getting your first
cell phone or credit card?

Well, I know how you feel
Yes I know how you feel

Well, maybe I'm too young to worry
but I'm too old to ignore
that life goes with, or without you
I can't be waiting no more

I don't want to push bull-shit
I don't want to just get by
I want to jump from this gerbil wheel
and find my life

yes, I wanna plant real trees
I want us to grow real change
I want our grand-kids to grow up and see
the same, real sky

well, maybe I'm too young to worry
but I'm too old to ignore
that life goes with, or without you
I can't be waiting no more

I don't want to just pay bills
I don't want to just survive
I want to jump from this train
that's running away with my life

yes I want to sing real songs
I want to find out real love
I want to do what feels right by my heart
and with God above

well maybe I'm too young and foolish
but I'm too old to ignore
that life goes with, or without you
I can't be waiting no more

I can't stay here where everyone's nice
and the grass is perpetually green
I got to check out the world,
and see what there is to see

and I want to hug lost souls
I want to find grass that's less green
I want to go where it's dark
and the light they need is me

well maybe I'm too young and foolish
but I'm too old to ignore
that life goes with, or without you
I can't be waiting no more

I can't be waiting no more
