Some Grand Vision Of Motives And Irony

I try to live up to the times I've seen

But I'm feeling broke and seventeen

Reduced to things I have to do

Always the eyes, never the view

They say that you're not really choosing me

You're biding time and using me

But if that's why you're here

Girl, I don't mind

Come back next year

Wake up one day

'Cause I got no other way to make you need me

Wake up one day

And it's not your job to make things easy

Wake up one day

With some grand vision of motives and irony

And no one in love with me

I stood on tried and true philosophies

When I should've been down on my knees

You push and I feel like I should shove

And are we gonna be left with anything like love?

Wake up one day

'Cause I got no better way to make you need me

Wake up one day

And it's not your job to make things easy

Wake up one day

With some grand vision of motives and irony

And no one in love with me
