Amateur

Nada Surf

You made me feel like i'm ok, 
i could be happy 
Now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing 
Wipe out all self-pity,
 it's slowing me down 
Turn off feeling pretty, 
dressing up dressing down. 
I walk around the city out of my way, 
looking for something 
I've got all that i need to save my day, 
so why'm i running? 
You said i should get professional help, 
it always makes me cry. 
I know i'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try. 
I had a birthday party and it was packed, 
got friends who love me 
We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, 
they were so lovely 
When exactly are we?
 i get the decades mixed up. 
I like the streets when they're empty,
 i can make the rest up. 
Every day is new year's eve, 
every night is the last night. 
Every day is new year's eve,
 every time is the last time.
