I'm at the movies in the middle of the day
I'm alone, I can sit anywhere I'd like
Soul motivation's never been my strongest suit
But in this case I don't know how to even try
How many sunsets can you see
Before you're bored of afternoons?
I look around, it seems like everybody else figured it out
And I just walked into the room

Can anybody tell me when my life's gonna start?
Thought it would happen by now
But I'm stuck at the part where everything's too damn hard
Can anybody tell me when my life's gonna start?
It's been like thirty-one years
And I'm still at the part where everything's too damn hard

So my apartment doesn't represent the person
That I pictured when I used to fantasize
I thought I'd look back at that helpless little baby
But for now I've got the same tears in my eyes
I'm stick of waiting for the light
Yeah, it's been yellow all the way
It's taking everything to not accelerate
Into a traffic jam that's never gonna change

Can anybody tell me when my life's gonna start?
Thought it would happen by now
But I'm stuck at the part where everything's too damn hard
Can anybody tell me when my life's gonna start?
It's been like thirty-one years
And I'm still at the part where everything's too damn hard

What a waste of time
What a waste of so much good time

Can anybody tell me when my life's gonna start?
Thought it would happen by now
But I'm stuck at the part where everything's too damn hard
