The Way I Feel Tonight:

Haven’t felt happy in days
It’s been so long since something good has come my way
But it’s so easy for me to hide than to do anything
Yeah

This may be who I am right now
Wish I could guarantee that someday I’ll be someone else
How do I escape this bubble that defines myself?

And I’ve got so much I can’t figure out
Are these things I’m doing to myself alright?
Stubbornly trapped in my doubts instead of asking for help
It seems that that’s the way I feel tonight
It seems that that’s the way I feel tonight
Oh yeah 
I guess its time for a change 
Rather than beat myself up til feels it’s normal then do it again   
I’m over chasing perfection I’m over everything
Yeah

And I’ve got so much I can’t figure out
Are these things I’m doing to myself alright?
Stubbornly trapped in my doubts instead of asking for help
It seems that that’s the way I feel tonight

I sit around getting nothing but older
I can’t live with this chip on my shoulder
How can I expect this world to change for me
If I can’t change myself, why should I expect anything?
 
I’m not myself I’m out of my mind
I’ve gotten so far yet feel I’m falling behind
Am I growing up, finally?
It’s okay not to know, so I guess I’ll just be

I’m not myself I’m out of my mind
I’ve gotten so far yet feel I’m falling behind
But I’m growing up, finally 
I’ll find a place in this world someday where I can feel free
I’m growing up, finally 
I’ll find a place in this world where I can be

Lyrics:

There's a song you half remember 
From some 1980s film that no-one liked
That you quite liked
 
It's a song that's gone forever
You could Google it but it would never sound as right
As it did that night
 
And there's a song
Building up inside of you that's gonna change the world
And all your Bono fantasies are gonna take hold
Come on come on it's not embarrassing to care about stuff
Come on come on if it's embarrassing then we're too old to care
And I never liked Bruce Springsteen
But I always envied that he cared 
 
And there's a memory that haunts you
Of doing nothing when doing something was in reach
But you didn't reach
 
A ghost that's in the hardware
Sending pop ups of your cock ups endlessly
So endlessly
 
And there's a song
Building up inside of you that's gonna change the world
And all your Bono fantasies are gonna take hold
Come on come on it's not embarrassing to care about stuff
Come on come on if it's embarrassing then we're too old to care
 
Come on come on let's find some inspiration in all the things that we messed up
 
And there's a song inside our skulls
we can sing to sooth our souls
sing it loud like we don't care
when we sing it no one's there 
 
Let's scoop that song out of our skulls
Force it down to soothe our souls
Let's sing it loud like we don't care
That when we sing there's no-one there
