Tell me who you wanna be
Then say their words, nodding your head, and then you wonder what they mean
Or if they’re worth being said
You lost yourself in this thought you felt
Off the cliff you fell now you’re still falling
You better, say your prayers every morning
You better, make your bed and the breakfast that you eat
Every day and everyday you’re little bit closer to sometime soon
Counting down the days and counting on the mood as your cue but the time is never opportune
And you’re acting like everything is cool
I’ll be your Fortune Teller
I can see down the line
And I’ve read every exit sign
Take any one you want and you’d be fine
I’ve never felt so sure
Of anything in my life
If you wanted more than fine
Your exits coming up on the right
It’s coming up on the right
There is no prescription to fight the notion it’s in the moon and the ocean
You think, your path has been chosen, the story has been told, it’s been set in motion
But we, tie our own blindfold based on what we’re told, working hard for fools gold
For gorgeous wives and castles in the hills, what’s it worth if you ain’t happy stacking bills
I’ll be your Fortune Teller
I can see down the line
And I’ve read every exit sign
Take any one you want and you’d be fine
I’ve never felt so sure
Of anything in my life
If you wanted more than fine
Your exits coming up on the right
If i burn out like a flame will you stay and watch me go
Will you wanna say i told you so
Would you even really wanna know
Or is it best i fade away, quietly here at home
Waiting for the final wind to blow
I want my ashes to be worth more than my bones
