(verse one) I want a new kind of day job The kind I don't have to work I wanna stand fast on the lazy side I just might let the phone keep ringing So put the money on the bed Leave inhibition at the door Listen close you can hear me screaming I don't wanna dream anymore (pre-chorus) So let me go I'm on my own now (chorus) I wanna be a sports star, drive a race car Wanna walk on the moon and do the things I never really thought I could do I know that maybe it's a longshot but I won't give up Step after step after step in the right direction, I'll live it up I know it's only an opinion But I bet I could rule the world (verse two) I wanna move so fast I wanna make this last I'll figure out a way that I can have the best of both those worlds But probably not I need to stop using words that I can't spell I need stop buying stock from this wishing well If this isn't therapy My mind got the best of me again (chorus) I wanna be a sports star, drive a race car Wanna walk on the moon and do the things I never really thought I could do I know that maybe it's a longshot but I won't give up Step after step after step in the right direction, I'll live it up I know it's only an opinion But I bet I could rule the world (bridge) I've been standing in the dark too long to tell If I've been living with my eyes shut tight or just hiding far too well
