lyrics

If I don't come back tomorrow
don't send anyone to look for me
there's no telling where I'll go
but I'll be free

Pack a backpack of Dinos
Bring a binder full of baseball cards
must have walked fifty miles
can't see the backyard

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

One step forward, two steps back
Is it obvious I don't have a plan?
Maybe if I turn around
and walk backwards then I'll gain more ground

Only so much sun left in the day
It doesn't matter anyway

If I'm not in class tomorrow
then It's probably 'cause I killed myself
Ain't got the time or the money
To fix my mental health

Maybe it's this semester
or maybe it's this awful place
I'll pack my car in the morning
Drive far away

I won't miss the five hundred dollar textbooks
and my only friends graduate anyway
I won't miss the curfew or the lunch lines or failing
The more that I think, Man I won't miss a thing (why am I here?)


One step forward, two steps back
Is it obvious I don't have a plan?
Maybe if I turn around
and walk backwards then I'll gain more ground

Only so much sun left in the day
It doesn't matter anyway

After all that has happened I can't go home
Maybe I can just drive til I run out of road
Oh that's right, I forgot that I'm completely broke
Guess I'll sleep in my car on this highway alone.

Only so much gas left in the tank
and not a dime left in the back.


One step forward, two steps back
Is it obvious I don't have a plan?
Maybe if I turn around
and walk backwards then I'll gain more ground

Only so much sun left in the day
It doesn't matter anyway

Five steps forward, Ten steps back
Honestly, I'm sick of it.
Maybe if I just give up
Then all this loss won't mean so much

Only so much light left in the day
The sun will set, I'll fade away.
