We're doomed to fate so we're told
We live to die when we get old
Being born was a lottery but
I didn't buy my ticket and
Where are the things they promised
When they said that we made progress
Now and then the change gets hard for me and
I don't think that I can continue so

We'll build a house with a rope swing
Hanging from the branch off the front yard tree
Watching sticks they fall in the grass green
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Anyone
I'll leave the light on when you're gone
Even when you're working into the dawn
Laying out the bricks on the front lawn
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Anyone

How long have we been starving
While we watch our future char and burn
In the wake of an avalanche
We're somewhere underneath the surface
No more can we see Zion
When we find that hill to die on
Down the street there's a beautiful view
But I don't want to see it so

We'll build a house with a rope swing
Hanging from the branch off the front yard tree
Watching sticks they fall in the grass green
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Anyone
I'll leave the light on when you're gone
Even when you're working into the dawn
Laying out the bricks on the front lawn
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Anyone

If we're speaking honestly I
Couldn't see past seventeen why
Do we let ourselves believe in
Good and bad and odd and even
All the things that I want to move and
All the things that I can't prove can
Pile up overwhelm my brain
Make me feel like I'm insane

We'll build a house with a rope swing
Hanging from the branch off the front yard tree
Watching sticks they fall in the grass green
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Anyone
I'll leave the light on when you're gone
Even when you're working into the dawn
Laying out the bricks on the front lawn
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Anyone
Oh oh
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Anyone
