"Act 2: Full Inbox" lyrics
Every day there is a new song
To be singing
For the first time ever
My phone won't stop ringing
Every text and call and email that I get
Is filling up my inbox
And I'm starting to regret
The decision to present myself
Out there
I experience their feelings
Which is not fair
I don't care about
The stupid lives they lead
It's not like I need the money
I'm only sixteen
With every passing note
I wish I could
Fly away from this
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
Has its effect
It's taking its toll
On me
Why should I care
'Bout the lessons that I'm learning?
When everything around me
In the world is burning
Maybe I should take a break
From writing songs
It might minimize the consequences
The list is getting too long
With every passing note
I wish I could
Fly away from this
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
Has its effect
It's taking its toll
On me
Why do you resist
What you are good at?
Because I know that
There's a price to pay
You don't have to resist
What you are good at
Maybe I'll keep it up
For one more day
With every passing note
(Come on, kid)
I wish I could
(You need to get the day in line)
Fly away from this
(You better get to work)
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
(Get on up, you've got a job)
Has its effect
(Lets take this work)
It's taking its toll
On me
To be singing
For the first time ever
My phone won't stop ringing
Every text and call and email that I get
Is filling up my inbox
And I'm starting to regret
The decision to present myself
Out there
I experience their feelings
Which is not fair
I don't care about
The stupid lives they lead
It's not like I need the money
I'm only sixteen
With every passing note
I wish I could
Fly away from this
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
Has its effect
It's taking its toll
On me
Why should I care
'Bout the lessons that I'm learning?
When everything around me
In the world is burning
Maybe I should take a break
From writing songs
It might minimize the consequences
The list is getting too long
With every passing note
I wish I could
Fly away from this
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
Has its effect
It's taking its toll
On me
Why do you resist
What you are good at?
Because I know that
There's a price to pay
You don't have to resist
What you are good at
Maybe I'll keep it up
For one more day
With every passing note
(Come on, kid)
I wish I could
(You need to get the day in line)
Fly away from this
(You better get to work)
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
(Get on up, you've got a job)
Has its effect
(Lets take this work)
It's taking its toll
On me
