Man, 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 will cost 
Been 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 hours of 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 as hard to get as everyone thought? 
Was she happier in those days? 

Sleeping, getting paid  
Subways 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 

Man, 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’d tire 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 bout 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
