Lyrics
BY NOW I THOUGHT I'D KNOW MY WAY AROUND THE STOVE
NOT JUST THE MICROWAVE
WHY DO I STILL NEED QUARTERS
TO DO MY LAUNDRY?
TICK TOCK I'M A LITTLE LATE
BUT THAT CLOCK CAN TICK AWAY
I'M MOVING AT MY OWN PACE
WE'RE NOT ALL BORN TO SING THE SAME MELODY
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU ISN'T RIGHT FOR ME
PAINTED A PICTURE OF HOW LIFE SHOULD BE
IS THERE A WAY I COULD SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY?
SOMETIMES OLD DREAMS GET THE BEST OF ME
AND I MISS WHAT'S HERE IN FRONT OF ME
WHERE, OH WHERE, IS HE?
WITH THE GLASS SLIPPER
BY NOW, THOUGHT I'D HAVE A JOB
AND STARTED A 401K
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO WHO I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE?
TICK TOCK I'M A LITTLE LATE
BUT THAT CLOCK CAN TICK AWAY
I'M MOVING AT MY OWN PACE
WE'RE NOT ALL BORN TO SING THE SAME MELODY
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU ISN'T RIGHT FOR ME
PAINTED A PICTURE OF HOW LIFE SHOULD BE
IS THERE A WAY I COULD SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY?
STOP, STOP, GOTTA SLOW IT DOWN
SECOND HAND KEEPS GOING ROUND
HEY HEY JUST LET IT GO
THE WORLD CAN SPIN ROUND ON IT S OWN
WOAH, WOAH STILL MY BEATING HEART
IT'S OKAY, WON'T FALL APART
HEY HEY CLOSE YOUR EYES
JUST FEEL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ALIVE
WE'RE NOT ALL BORN TO SING THE SAME MELODY
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU ISN'T RIGHT FOR ME
PAINTED A PICTURE OF HOW LIFE SHOULD BE
IS THERE A WAY I COULD SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY?
