"I Hope I Get There" lyrics

I'm stuck in another hundred-person lecture hall
Ninety students half-asleep, and ten on Adderall
No one wants to be here, me least of all
I've got somewhere else I'd rather be

It's one a.m. and I've been sitting in the library
For several hours, but it seems like nothing's clear to me
Why am I trading my life for this degree?
I've got someone else I wanna be

And I want people singing music
I want flowers in my hair
I want thirteen open invites
I want comfy leather chairs

I want my dad to be proud of
How much I have learned to care
I want people singing music
And I hope I get there
I hope I get there, mm

Another party in a basement with cheap alcohol
And if I'm honest I don't wanna be in here at all
I can't find what I want in between these walls
I've got somewhere else I wanna be

I'm not antisocial, I'm just feeling over this
I see what I wanna be and now I can't resist
Especially when I feel so close to it
I've got someone else I wanna be

And I want people singing music
I want flowers in my hair
I want thirteen open invites
I want comfy leather chairs

I want my dad to be proud of
How much I have learned to care
I want people singing music
And I hope I get there
I hope I get there, mm

So come with me, run with me, far away
So try with me, fly with me, all the way
So come with me, run with me, far away
So try with me, fly with me, all the way
So come with me, run with me, far away
So try with me, fly with me, all the way
So come with me, run with me, far away
So try with me, fly with me, fly with me

I want people singing music
I want flowers in my hair
I want thirteen open invites
I want comfy leather chairs

I want my dad to be proud of
How much I have learned to care
I want people singing music
And I hope I get there
I hope I get there
I hope I get there
I hope I get there
