Fancy Things

I bet when I'm twenty-three I'll buy a house by the beach
Yeah, who needs sleep?
I'll write a couple of songs, make friends with a lotta [?]
How hard can it be?

I never loved anyone but myself
So I never learned to laugh at myself

Don't waste time chasing fancy things
Diamond rings won't make you
Anymore of a human being
Take it from me, I tried to
Buy my way to happiness
But I never, ever thought it would be like this, now I
Spend my days wishing I could be
Anyone else but me

But now that I'm twenty-three, I have some crazy stories
But I'm boring
I have nobody to call, I wish somebody had told me
I'd be tired and lonely

I never loved anyone but myself
So I never learned to laugh at myself

Don't waste time chasing fancy things
Diamond rings won't make you
Anymore of a human being
Take it from me, I tried to
Buy my way to happiness
But I never, ever thought it would be like this, now I
Spend my days wishing I could be
Anyone else but me

I guess it's my fault, I shoulda known that
I guess it's my fault, can never go back
I guess it's my fault, I shoulda known that (yeah)

Don't waste time chasing fancy things
Diamond rings won't make you
Anymore of a human being
Take it from me, I tried to
Buy my way to happiness
But I never, ever thought it would be like this, now I
Spend my days wishing I could be
Anyone else but me
