Sixteen years looking up at the blackboard
 I don't even know how to read
 I got pills to make the hamster wheels turn faster
 But the monkey's in the driver's seat
 And now I tear myself apart about everything I want
 I miss my good old rockin' self esteem
 You can take out the wax and tie me to the mast
 I gotta hear the sirens scream
 Don't listen to me
 I just need a good night's sleep
 And you keep me up all night
 Can't talk right
 I'm fallin' in my clothes
 And even though I'm feeling like death
 I can't be upset
 'Cause I finally know
 ♪
 You can document the teenage wildlife
 Psychoanalyze the modern man
 You can classify 'em all by bloodtype
 But you're never gonna understand
 What a kind of old noir reaction
 To the anonymity of youth
 Go to sleep before the main attraction
 Downtown flats could never glow like you
 I'm going to sleep
 And you keep me up all night
 Can't talk right
 I'm fallin' in my clothes
 And even though I'm feeling like death
 I can't be upset
 'Cause I finally know
 I don't want to be an animal (Oh no)
 But you're making this hard for me
 But I don't want to be an animal (Oh no)
 But you're drawing me close
 And you keep me up all night
 Can't talk right
 I'm fallin' in my clothes
 And even though I'm feeling like death
 I can't be upset
 'Cause I finally know
 Y'all finally know
 Y'all finally know
 Y'all finally know
 Y'all finally know
