Living your entire life in about 5 square meters will drive you crazy.
lyrics
young man, you can't live inside of a shoebox.
came to this city with stars in your eyes,
then life ripped them out and left gashes bleeding
and you're scared you'll see red for the rest of your life.
young man you'll never be rid of your conscience,
it's festering there, in the back of your mind.
so stick your head under the water and ignore it
because the best defence is a good offence,
and to stay numb almost all the time,
but when you haven't felt anything in months
no wonder you want to give up.
but she's waiting for you,
In a thunderstorm somewhere,
and when you've found your way you can
go and meet her there
and I can't promise that you won't regret her,
but I know things won't get better if you end it right now.
You should move into a house
Young man don't be such a romantic,
Your life won't mean all that much to everyone.
Because all that you are is how you treat strangers,
and every single thing you've ever done.
So if all you want to do is get out of your head,
then all you got to do is get out of your room, sometimes,
and you can sit and tell yourself you can't change,
you can't change, and there is no other way
for you to live through the day
because you can't cope with this pain,
and you can't change.
but she's waiting for you,
In a thunderstorm somewhere,
and when you've found your way you can
go and meet her there
and I can't promise that you won't regret her,
but I know things won't get better if you end it right now.
You should move into a house
