Jailbird

Verse 1
Looking back at my life, I know where I screwed up
Chasing a stupid fantasy that soon went corrupt
My lilac-tinted glasses obscured my clear view
Next thing I’m broke and with bills that are overdue.
-
Is this supposed to be my happy ending?
Never could keep a job, but I’d say yes to spending
I always thought that I could buy happiness
Yet that’s not the case with my bank account in minus.

Chorus 1
I’m an unwanted jailbird stuck with this stupid curse
Just like a floating iceberg there’s more to me below the surface
All I wanted was to pursue my happiness, but now I’m stuck in a rut
Cuz I’m an unwanted jailbird and most would say that I’m f*****.

Verse 2
Between you and me, I can honestly say I have no regrets
Sure I screwed up now and then, but with all due respect
This is the most excitement I’ve ever had in my life
I’ve actually learned what it means to feel alive.

Chorus 2
I’m an unwanted jailbird stuck with this stupid curse
Just like a floating iceberg there’s more to me below the surface
All I wanted was to pursue happiness, and I’ve succeeded
Just because I’m a jailbird doesn’t mean I’m stupid.
