My head just won't let me move on
Is this gonna be forever?
My heart is trapped inside my lungs
And it keep on (Keep on) keep on changing when I'm not looking
And it keep on (Keep on) keep on changin when I'm not looking
When I'm not looking. ooh. When I'm not looking
My shrink says I need medication
The plane is flying over Michigan
How am I only 24 (24, 24)
And it keep on (Keep on) keep on changin when I'm not looking
And it keep on (Keep on) keep on changin when I'm not looking
