"Little Life" lyrics

Living in this small town
Where everybody knows my name
Familiar faces all around
I put a smile on my face
But they don't see it
Can't see I wanna get away

I'm walking down the same road
As I did when I was three
Don't even wanna go home
I just wish that I could leave
And see the big world
And find who I'm supposed to be

But that was high school me
No I'm a thousand miles away
From what used to be
The home I wanted to escape

We always want what we don't have
So if I went back in time
I'd tell high school me
To escape the little life

Time flies by as the cool kids cry
'Cause we always thought we wanted more
Football games and the things we'd hate
Are now just memories we're searching for

I can feel it coming now
That feeling when I hit the ground
It's something that I felt before
Time just keeps on going by
Now it makes me wanna cry
'Cause I won't be there any more

Living in this small town
Where everybody knows my name
Familiar faces all around
I put a smile on my face
But they don't see it
Can't see I wanna get away

I'm walking down the same road
As I did when I was three
Don't even wanna go home
I just wish that I could leave
And see the big world
And find who I'm supposed to be

But that was high school me
No I'm a thousand miles away
From what used to be
The home I wanted to escape

We always want what we don't have
So if I went back in time
I'd tell high school me
To escape the little life

Time flies by as the cool kids cry
'Cause we always thought we wanted more
Football games and the things we'd hate
Are now just memories we're searching for

I can feel it coming now
That feeling when I hit the ground
It's something that I felt before
Time just keeps on going by
Now it makes me wanna cry
'Cause I won't be there any more
