I have one semester to go. June will come. And I'll be done!!!!
I'll live a life of I told you so
I won't have to say a thing
Everyone will just know
The bright lights of the city
Dangling all their opportunities
I want to migrate toward all of it
I've waited years for this to finally come
To break away from all of the pain
That this town never fails to provide
Each and every person
With their small-towned minds
I'll be leaving it all behind
And when I'm swimming in my own success
I'll know that I've worked so hard for this
For that one moment where I'll actually see
I really am better than the world of the past
Where I was getting sabotaged behind my back
Every little word and laugh
Just makes me want it even more, and even more than that
I don't know how much more I could have taken
Everyday, becoming a little more broken
If I didn't see the end in sight
I don't know if I could've made it
But now it's all so close that I can taste it
I push ahead stronger everyday
Just because I know soon it all will be over
This will soon become a small story of my life
Where everyday was full of misery and strife
Hardtimes came and they dug into my chest
People came and rescued me, but they always left
I'm going to Palm Beach Atlantic
I'm flying in a big silver plane
I'm living next to the sand and next to the waves
I'll be so far gone from here
That I won't even look back
And I find everyone is still where I left them
I'll throw my head back, and I'll laugh.
