Marty Mcfly, Nostrodamus, And I

I spent four long years, counting down seconds till "there" would be "here"
And I've been starring down my fears. Of being left behind, being told that I
Might be better off alone. Do you think we'll be better off alone?
You'd think that this might be easier by the second time around
By the second time I'm bound to feel a certain sense of familiarity
Wouldn't you think? Wouldn't you think?
Stop holding your breath, my friends all say
You need to figure out a way to let yourself down easy,
For once in your life...
Well I remember being good at looking to the future
But I'm always burying my heart in places apart
From where I lay my head...
One of these days I'm gonna show everyone I know that I've got
A purpose outside of my down and out state of mind,
I won't waste myself this time, I won't let you leave me behind,
I'm a wreck but on my life you can bet one day that you'll see my name in lights...
Stop holding your breath, my friends all say
You need to figure out a way to let yourself down easy,
For once in your life...
Well I remember being good at looking to the future
But I'm always burying my heart in places apart
From where I lay my head...
