Well when she got the grade
She took her first real breath
As a person without a single damn care left
Put a note in her phone
In double bold and read:
“Everything that I need is somewhere straight ahead”
Oh, it’s somewhere straight ahead

Soon when the fuse was lit
She tied a few loose ends
Certain people she loved
And just a few fake friеnds
On the morning she left
Shе left a text on read
“Everybody I need is somewhere straight ahead

Cause I don’t wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
I just think I’m better off leaving
I don’t wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
I just think I’m better off leaving”

Two years to the day, she had it all worked out
Wrote a couple of novels people wrote about
Captivated the strangers at the bars uptown
Thinking “nobody here could ever slow me down
Nah they couldn’t slow me down”

And when the thought occurred
She bought the house she earned
She started looking into venues for July the third
She wants a west coast wedding with a mind like hers
Before she puts a reminder in her phone
To remind her that she knows
“I can do it on my own
I can do it 'cause

I don’t wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
I just think I’m better off leaving
I don’t wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
I just think I’m better off leaving”

She’s off the ground
She won’t look down
She made a vow
Don’t stop her now
The things that she wills
Become things that she builds
So don’t stop her now
When she saw the movie all about her life
Well she noticed some things they didn’t get quite right
Cause they added mistakes and cut her best damn nights
Everybody who knew it sent a goddamn text
“Did you tell them to do it so it makes more sense?”
She was staring straight ahead
Took her time and said:

“I don’t wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
I just think I’m better off leaving
I don’t wanna live for the summer
I just wanna live where I wanna
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
I just think I’m better off leaving”
