[Verse 1]
See that nine to five
She's alive but she'll never see
She's lost in what she does
Just because of what she has to be
Time just passes by and she don't try
She just carries on
Her dreams are only dreams in the night
Come the light, they're gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Trapped into spaces that leave us with no room to breathe
Pushed into places where we really don't wanna be

[Chorus]
We've only got a short time to grab a little glory
I wanna have a good life, not a sad story
To stay within the boundaries seems so formal
If that's what life is, I don't wanna be normal
No

[Verse 2]
If chances that we take become mistakes, I could gladly pay
I don't see how I could live my life any other way
The best and the worst of us often times stumble and fall
We're trapped by the choices we make
We just can't know it all
[Chorus]
We've only got a short time to grab a little glory
I wanna have a good life, not a sad story
To stay within the boundaries seems so formal
If that's what life is I don't wanna be normal
We've only got a short time to grab a little glory
I wanna have a good life, not a sad story
To stay within the boundaries seems so formal
If that's what life is I don't wanna be normal

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Trapped into spaces that leave us with no room to breathe
Pushed into places where we really don't wanna be

[Chorus]
We've only got a short time to grab a little glory
I wanna have a good life, not a sad story
To stay within the boundaries seems so formal
If that's what life is, I don't wanna be normal
We've only got a short time to grab a little glory
I wanna have a good life, not a sad story
To stay within the boundaries seems so formal
If that's what life is, I don't wanna be normal
No
[Outro]
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be normal
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be normal
Don't wanna be normal
No, no, don't wanna be normal
I don't wanna be
