Tedious

[VERSE]
I’m gonna start a fire and swallow it under the spotlight at the carnival
I’ll live the type of life where the tigers can’t tame me cause I prefer the wild
Now I walk the elephants that you had me ignoring
They’re sweet just for the hell of it and Oh, how they adore me

[PRE-Chorus]
Did you get my postcard back home saying that I’m sorry that I’m not coming back
I just need to be where I feel wanted
I don’t wanna fit in
I just wanna belong to something big
And I feel more at peace with the strangers I meet than with you

[Chorus]
I’m gonna try to smile and mean it
I wanna mean it, I do
I’m gonna try to take back my time
Cause I really need it, I mean it, I do

[VERSE]
I’m gonna walk the line and never look down or back at what’s behind me
I’m gonna take a ride and people-watch at the very top of the Ferris wheel
Now I walk the elephants that you had me ignoring
They’re sweet just for the hell of it and Oh, how they adore me

[PRE-Chorus]
Did you get my postcard back home saying that I’m sorry that I’m not coming back
I just need to be where I feel wanted
I don’t wanna fit in
I just wanna belong to something big
And I feel more at peace with the strangers I meet than with you

[Chorus]
I’m gonna try and smile and mean it
I wanna mean it, I do
I’m gonna try to take back my time
Cause I really need it, I mean it, I do
