I'm nostalgic for a time and place that I have never been
Where I could be outgoing and could make a bunch of friends
Or maybe something more than that, but I can still pretend
Oh, if only life were like that
There's certain things you just can't change and sometimes that's okay
Cause most of them are little and won't matter anyway
But I'd give my arms and legs if you would never go away
Oh, if only death were like that
But in layman's terms, no man can be a god
And you can't control the world with just your thoughts
I can't see the moon tonight, and I never knew that rain could smell so rancid
But at least I know it's real

If she wants to become a supernova
Then just let her become a supernova
I don't want to become a supernova
But I can't speak for anyone else

I don't want to rely on anybody from now on
I've needed to be kept afloat by others for so long
I want to be so stable, no one thinks that something's wrong
Oh, if only life were like that
I wish that I could sleep for months and not just for a night
And fall into a coma as opposed to fight or flight
And then I'd wake up later when I think that it's alright
Oh, if only death were like that
But it's never gonna be so cut and dry
And the man who called this easy told a lie
I'm confused by everything, but the world outside has gracefully adapted
And I don't know how to feel

There's no user's guide to being an adult
And the walkthrough for delight says "join a cult"
Everything I've done has failed, and the best advice I've heard is "just keep trying"
But I can't see the appeal

Well I know you're not quite ready yet
And I know just how afraid you get
But I'm certain it's a solid bet
That you're the strongest boy I've ever met
It's not that simple, I'm aware
But don't you worry, I'll be there
I don't quite love myself, it's true
But that love's better spent on you
Because you never get enough
Despite the fact you've had it rough
So here's a little mantra for your health:
"Learn to forgive yourself"
