Kicked around and left to drown my collars in my mouth
Left at home in summer when kids are heading south
I feel I`m on a rope and i`ve got no room to run
And I don`t want the fighting but it`s pastime number one

Sometimes i feel like i`m a stranger in my town
I never thought that it could be the other way around
I hear what people say but i try not to care
I can walk down the street with my own sense of belonging somewhere

Sometimes i`m immune to my surrounds
But sometimes being young is enough to get you down
I never associated feeling young with being sad
I hated being wrong
But now i don`t feel so bad

Wishing for a kissing from the lips of summertime
Trying to get my kicks out of wasting all my time
I ain`t seen the sun from december through to may
I couldn`t find a reason i could give to you to stay
I thought you wanted more of summertime`s caress
It never struck me you`d be happier with less
I never associated having less with feeling glad
I read you wrong i guess

But now i don`t feel so bad
Now now i don`t feel so bad

I lay down and dreamt that i lay down and had a dream
I felt myself dissolving and i don`t know what it means
Every second another piece disappears from sight
There ain`t enough of me left to keep you warm at night
I`m gonna get myself back together soon
You can turn a corner in an afternoon
I do believe it`s the worst i ever had
I can`t get back to sleep but now i don`t feel so bad

Now i don`t feel so bad
Now i don`t feel so bad
Now i don`t feel so bad

I`m cutting all the corners

But now i don`t feel so bad

I`m busting through the undergrowth

But now i don`t feel so bad

I`m stuck here in the middle

But now i don`t feel so bad
But now i don`t feel so bad
