[Verse 1]
Wake up my darlin', girl you're late for school
Those were the old days and these are the new
When I get myself outta bed
And I silence the voice in my head
When I drink coffee then my stomach hurts
God knows I need it so don't know what's worse
Then I get on the interstate
And the traffic's bad and I'm late

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that I'm being strange
Carve my apples with a blade
Call me now, I'm ignoring it
I don't wanna conversate
I just wanna turn on music and sit here

[Chorus]
I'm riding with the top down
Pretending nobody's around
I wish I was carefree
Like you see in the movies
My friends don't understand
I'm not happy, I'm not sad
I'm just coasting on a wave
Trying not to go insane
But I wish I was carefree (I wish I was carefree)
Like you see in the movies (Like you see in the movies)
[Verse 2]
So how do I get myself out of this state?
No one can fix it, it's all on my plate
Tell me now what I wanna hear
Except I won't hear it clear
Everything's broken it feels like my fault
I shoulda done this and I shoulda done all
But I can't go back and erase
So I just stare up into space

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that I'm being strange
Carve my apples with a blade
Call me now, I'm ignoring it
I don't wanna conversate
I just wanna turn on music and sit here

[Chorus]
I'm riding with the top down
Pretending nobody's around
I wish I was carefree
Like you see in the movies
My friends don't understand
I'm not happy, I'm not sad
I'm just coasting on a wave
Trying not to go insane
But I wish I was carefree (I wish I was carefree)
Like you see in the movies (Like you see in the movies)
Like you see in the movies
