I stepped into the new light
Looking out at a new skyline
I'm the only one who feels right
But I doubt I'm the one who's blind
Speaking of which, I dropped out
That's not a conversation I'm excited about
They'll chew you up and they'll spit you out
You'll be left with nothing if you have any doubt
I'm not getting rid of my avenues
I'm just trying to do something new
Life is fun until it depends on you
I'd be fucked if I didn't do something new
You should work harder, you should stick with the plan
There's a cost to everyone who throws it into the can
I just don't want to see you living out of a van
You had a good thing going, don't throw it out man
I can't get a degree, even for free
I can't make a business out of cold calling
I don't even give a fuck about the money
I just want to see people inspired by me
Now my dad's calling me and I'm crying
He says I don't even know why you're trying
You'll go broke by the end of year three
But if only he could see
Now my brother's calling me screaming
Saying you're making a mistake, it's showing
How you can't stick with anything
But if only he could see
We're the same person somehow
So how is it different now?
You gave me the confidence to quit
When I didn't know I needed it
How is it different now?
We're the same person somehow
It's so much easier to pretend
When you're already at the end
Side to side and left to left
There's only one way to go and that's right
When you're at rock bottom, you can't hit it again
At least that's what I'm telling my friends
How is it different now?
We're the same person somehow
It's so much easier for you to pretend
Because you're already at the end
