fin-de-siècle - World’s Falling In

I’ve got people tellin’ me they know what’s good for me
“Go to school and get a job and you can be like me”
People askin’ questions I don’t have the answers to
They’re askin’ me what I want to do

And it seems like the whole world’s falling in on me
And I don’t really know what it is I want to be
And I’m just lookin’ for some help to get me through
So that I can stand on my own like each of you

People puttin’ pressure on and saying things to me
like “Have you made your mind up yet on what you’d like to be”
Of all the things you say or do you’ll find there’s nothing new
So what am I supposed to do

And it seems like the whole world’s falling in on me
What do they expect of me
And I want to help and do my share,
but sometimes it’s just more than I can bear

(Solo)

Things are so much better now that I’m away from you
I doubt you’ll ever realize what we all thought of you
You acted like you were my friend, but I was on to you
There’s so much more to be than you

And it seems like the whole world’s falling in on me
But I think I can make it now I’m finally free
And I guess from now on it’s whatever shall be shall be
But I can’t wait to see what there is in store for me
