My future's uncertain  

My back starts hurting  

As soon as I get out of bed 

I listen to the news station  

Trouble in the whole nation 

Airplane passes by gotta be a mile high 

Reminds me that I'm not a bird 

 

There's a side of me  

One part prisoner and one part free 

There's only so much any man can be  

We all want another life 

Another fifty years  

To see the outback and the Himalayas 

Feel that arctic wind around your ears  

We all want another life  

 

Picking up my paycheck  

How am i going to make it  

How am i ever getting out of this hole 

Stuck in a time frame 

Caught up in the mundane  

I wanna learn dancing  

Motorbike riding 

Maybe have a kid or two 

 

(chorus) 

 

I wanna try acting  

White water rafting 

Be a total failure 

Backpacking in Australia  

Learn to play the sitar  

Get better on the guitar  

Try some illegal substances

 

There's a side of me  

One part prisoner and one part free  

There's only so much any man can be  

We all want another life 

Where's so much to know  

So many places that you want to go  

We hardly have time to stop and say hello 

We all want another life  

 

To sail the Baltic Sea 

Ride an elephant to Timbuk three 

Walk this land from sea to shining sea 

We all want another life
