the long way

Stuck in this town where nobody understands me
 I don't fit in, but I pretend like I'm happy
 I smoke too much just to escape my reality
 Disappoint my family, I'm as lost as I can be
 I don't know how everyone is so comfortable
 Doin' everything they're told, fit right into the mold
 Pray I find a way out, 'cause it's killin' me inside
 Yeah, I don't belong here, yeah
 I'm just wasting my time, learnin' my lesson the hard way
 Walkin' on a thin line and I don't care if it's lonely
 'Cause all of my friends are settling down
 I don't wanna go home, I wanna stay out
 I'll be doin' alright, I'm fine with taking the long way, oh
 I don't feel set up for the life that I've been given
 Can't work no nine to five, I feel like I'm in prison
 Havin' sex, depressed, drink myself to death
 Runnin' circles every night, I'm just tryna feel alive
 Don't wanna become everything I hate the most
 Pray that I can stay afloat, 'fore I turn into a ghost
 Gotta be a way out, I just wish I had the time
 'Cause I don't belong here, yeah
 I'm just wasting my time, learnin' my lesson the hard way
 Walkin' on a thin line and I don't care if it's lonely
 'Cause all of my friends are settling down
 I don't wanna go home, I wanna stay out
 I'll be doin' alright, I'm fine with taking the long way, oh
 Ooh, ooh (The long way)
 Ooh, ooh (Lonely)
 'Cause all of my friends are settling down
 I don't wanna go home, I wanna stay out
 Ooh, ooh, the long way
