This song is written in the perspective of Penelope after she has died. She expresses her regrets, especially about how she should have taken more risks in life.
[Verse]
It's not a very big deal
I just thought Heaven would glow
I lost my life to get here
And I'm so fucking bored
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die this way and you should know
I'm looking at your eyes and you super fucking don't
I wanna steal a car and crash it right into a court
Fuck someone's professor even if it's not my own
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna go like this
So goddamn bored
I don't wanna live this way
And you should know
[Chorus]
Looking at the sky, can't believe it's real
It's so fucking synthetic, I don't know how to feel
Settle on nothing, I'm gonna burn it down
Rip it like a curtain and toss it to the ground
'Cause I don't wanna go this way and you should know
I'm looking at your eyes and, god, you just don't
[Post-Chorus]
Walk into the ocean
And swim away
Trade a boring life for
One real bad day
