A modern boy’s best friend is his machine
It took a second to admit but I’m finally coming clean
What keeps me awake at night is understanding
Some things weren’t meant to fall

One of these days
Someone will come to replace me along with the dreams I’ve got
And make these modern days seem small
But this time I’ll do things the way you wanted
It’s not right, but it’s just the way you want it
Lay it all on me, ‘cause I’m all ears
They say that:
This is the part where you cut your losses
This is the part where you get a job
This is the part where you settle for less
Just like you never wanted to

One more time; let’s work this out
One more time; I’ve got this down

One of these days
Someone will come to replace me along with the dreams I’ve got
Makes these modern days seem small, but
This time I’ll do things the way you wanted
It’s not right, but it’s just the way you want it
Lay it all on me, ‘cause I’m all ears

This is not the part where you cut your losses
This is not the part where you get a job
This is not the part where you settle for less
Just like I never wanted to

One of these days
Someone will come to replace me along with the dreams I’ve got
Makes these modern days seem small, but
This time I’ll do things the way you wanted
It’s not right, but it’s just the way you want it
Lay it all on me, ‘cause I’m all ears
