"Wanna Get Ahead" lyrics

Wanna get ahead from the things that you said
And the skin you wanna shed but you can't at all
I feel that you wanna get a grip on your life
But the way you go about it puts me through the wall
It's not like I feel anything at all
It's not like you are ever gonna call

Peel me off the seat
Smoked out endlessly
I can hardly be
The person who I wanna be

All this short stress and the way it makes a mess
When you wanna be your best but you can't at all
Living on your own man, finally you've grown man
Lie to me again and I'll never call
All these plans now why you gotta stall?
All this pride man when you gonna fall?

Peel me off the seat
Smoked out endlessly
I can hardly be
The person who I wanna be

Peel me off the seat
Smoked out endlessly
I can hardly be
The person who I wanna be

What's the point if all the things I say
Won't help us stay the way I want it to?
Every band that I hate, each time that I don't relate
Every choice that I make won't be the same when you're gone
