Marty McFly, Nostrodamus, And I Lyrics

The American Scene

I spent four long years counting down seconds 'til "there" would be "here."
And I've been staring down my fears of being left behind, being told that I
Might be better off alone. Do you think we'll be better off alone?

Think that this might be easier by the second time around.
By the second time, I'm bound to feel a certain sense of familiarity;
Wouldn't you think? Wouldn't you think?

Stop holding your breath,
my friends all say,
You need to figure out a way
to let yourself down easy for once in your life.

Well, I remember being good at looking to the future
But, I'm always burying my heart in places apart
From where I lay my head.

One of these days I'm gonna show everyone I know that I've got
(one of these days..)
A purpose outside of my down and out state of mind.
I won't waste myself this time, I won't let you leave me behind,
(I won't let you leave me behind)
I'm a wreck, but on my life, you can bet one day that you'll see my name in lights.

Stop holding your breath,
my friends all say,
You need to figure out a way
to let yourself down easy for once in your life.

Well, I remember being good at looking to the future
But, I'm always burying my heart in places apart
From where I lay my head.
