Reinventing the Wheel to Run Myself Over Lyrics
I could walk this fine line between elation and success
But we all know which way I'm going
So strike the stake between my chest
Well "You have to prove yourself"
You'll have to prove it to me
So now you're waiting up for him
You're wasting time every time
I can't do it by myself
I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am:
A failure at everything
18 going on extinct
I know my place
It's nowhere you should roam
But we all know which way I'm going
So strike the stake between my chest
Well "You have to prove yourself"
You'll have to prove it to me
You're wasting time every time
A failure at everything
18 going on extinct
I know my place
It's nowhere you should roam

This is probably my favorite song lyrically. I think he's just saying he's unsure about his future. And everyone is telling him to "prove himself" and he says I don't have to prove myself by saying "You'll have to prove it to me". I love this because this is how A LOT of teens feel.
I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am: A failure at everything... 18 going on extinct.
great line
"So now you're waiting up for him... you're wasting time every time" seems to bring in a relationship theme into the song, which doesn't really fit with the personal story of the song... anyone guess at how it fits?
the award for the Most Emo Song Title goes to...
drumroll
Fall Out Boy, for 'Reinventing The Wheel To Run Myself Over' !

This song makes me happy.
This song makes me happy.
This song makes me happy.
Oh it's from burnout 3:takedown Soundtrack and it's cool. you know something like hip hop. Here is the lyrics
I could walk this fine line between elation and success, but we all know which way I'm going to strike the stake between my chest. So, "You have to prove yourself". You'll have to prove it to me.
So now you're waiting up for him... You're wasting time every time
Whoa, I can't do it by myself. [x5]
I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am: A failure at everything... 18 going on extinct. I know my place it's nowhere you should roam.
So now you're waiting up for him... Still wasting time, yeah, every time Yeah
Whoa, I can't do it by myself. [x8]
Hope you enjoyed it! Justin
oh yeah no need because i got tons of songs, i'm his fan tooooooooo!!
This is song is so good. To me, it's about growing up, but it looks like there are some relationship ties in there...and the rest of the album is about this one girl, so it would make sense if it was about a relationship.
