So tired of trying to keep up with someone else`s pace

You got a new tattoo, but the same old face

Complacency is the enemy and I`ve been acting old

There`s got to be more to life than doing what we`re told

You can`t bottle this - it always slips away

Shut out - of a dream we had not long ago

There`s nothing to prove, nothing to show

We`ve been told all this before

So why am I still keeping score

Constraints are all around you every single day

When you`re feeling overloaded you can`t run away

And everywhere you go there`s another wall in life

No matter where you look there`s no end in sight

You can`t bottle this - it always slips away

Shut out - of a dream we had not long ago

Nothing to prove, nothing to show

We`ve been told all this before

And I`m still keeping score

I understand you`ve got pressure`s

But I can`t accept your reaction

It`s been a long road

Is it all a distraction?

Birth, school, work, death

These are things we all have to accept

And sometimes it feels like you`re hitting a wall

I can`t make sense of it all

Shut up!

It`s another time and another place

Get a different view and a brand new take

It`s a brand new day, it`s a brand new day

Brand new day

It`s a brand new day

Brand new day
