Ryan Terrigno - American History

I won't lie - I'm a little bit nervous
If you knew me, you wouldn't be all that surprised
I try so hard to be optimistic
And keep my glass half full
But lately I've been feeling like a runaway on a bus
Slowly rolling down the road
I spend my nights and weekends
Drinking overpriced cocktails
Just trying to keep the wind in my sails
But it's getting hard - it's getting harder
I never ever asked to be born
And the older that I get
The more that I come to resent
That I never really had a choice
Of where I am in American history
What I wouldn't give to wake up in the 90's
Have my whole life ahead of me
And know that everything would be OK
I tell myself that things will get better
I'm not sure I believe that, but I gotta believe in something - I know
I've only got this one life to live
I'm stranded here on this planet
Without a map, without a guide
I'm so scared I'll live with regret till the day I die
I spend my nights and weekends
Drinking overpriced cocktails
Just trying to keep the wind in my sails
But it's getting hard - it's getting harder
I never ever asked to be born
And the older that I get
The more that I come to resent
That I never really had a choice
Of where I am in American history
What I wouldn't give to wake up in the 90's
Have my whole life ahead of me
And know that everything would be OK
I've never felt more connected
Or ever so far away
I just miss those street lights that summoned me home as a kid
But I never ever asked to be born
And the older that I get
The more that I come to resent
That I never really had a choice
Of where I am in American history
What I wouldn't give to wake up in the 90's
Have my whole life ahead of me
And know that everything would be OK
