Tired of rolling out of bed into a padded wall
Living inside a bubble nothing changes, seen it all
This could be known as the day you realized you were someone else
Hiding inside of emotions never meant for borrowed lives

Don’t go rocking the boat if the wind’s all right
I’m happiest to walk, don’t wanna race inside
Just go with the waves and let it drain to the sea
All alone in the blue, I know it won’t change me

Brought up from the middle so I won't stop trying
Time to expose what the punk rock lie is
Time to explain why the postman’s lying
Grab my fishbowl I'm on my way crosstown, yeah
Because the sea keeps shining

Yeah I got the lesson it was summer 1993
Wracking my brain of what my father used to teach to me
He said "son you gotta get a job, you got a lot of bills to pay"
But I will get by if I go and do it my own way (my own way)

Don’t go rocking the boat if the wind’s all right
I’m happiest to walk, don’t wanna race inside
Just go with the waves and let it drain to the sea
All alone in the blue, I know it won’t change me

Brought up from the middle so I won't stop trying
Time to expose what the punk rock lie is
Time to explain why the postman’s lying
Grab my fishbowl I'm on my way crosstown, yeah
Because the sea keeps shining

Brought up from the middle so I won't stop trying
Time to expose what the punk rock lie is
Time to explain why the postman’s lying
