Bored and 19

Written by: Martin Zellar

Lyrics


Restless Summer, I just came of age
Feeling trapped, the proverbial small town rage
So I pierced my ear and I moved out on my own
Never in my life thought I could feel so all alone

Lying on my bed listening to the people down below
Listening to Neil Young on a stolen stereo
Sun goes down, headlights move across my wall
No money, no car, no beer, no phone to make a call

I guess I know now what drove me here
I guess I know now my greatest fear
What I thought would make it better has only made it worse
To be bored and 19, man I swear I'm gonna burst

I wanted to be on my own. I didn't wanna be alone
I thought independence would be the same, well wrong
One goes up and another must fall
I guess I was waiting for that one final call

I walk alone and I call out your name
I knew even then things could never be the same
I sleep alone through my sweat-filled dreams
I tell myself this town just ain't what it seems

I guess I know now what drove me here
I guess I know now my greatest fear
What I thought would make it better has only made it worse
To be bored and 19, man I swear I'm gonna burst

Restless Summer, I just came of age
Feeling trapped, the proverbial small town rage
So I pierced my ear and I moved out on my own
Never in my life thought I could feel so all alone

I guess I know now what drove me here
I guess I know now my greatest fear
What I thought would make it better has only made it worse
To be bored and 19, man I swear I'm gonna burst

Don't cry, just hold my hand
Just want somebody to understand...
Me

Bored and 19...
