yeah, i've had enough
excitement in my life
if i died tonight, i'd sleep fine
i've been ahead and i've been left behind
i know it's hard to carry on
same old story, a new song i sing
cause i don't wanna change a thing

they say, throwin' my life away
they say, throwin' my life away
they say, throwin' my life away
they say to methrowin' my life away, they say
throwin' my life away, they say
throwin' my life away, they say to me

now here comes the night
to bring me back to life
from all the stupid things i tried
the ones that burned, i tried them twice
let's go! don't get caught up growing old
stand in line follow the road unpaved
and let them know you're here to stay!

they say, throwin' my life away
they say, throwin' my life away
they say, throwin' my life away
they say to methrowin' my life away, they say
throwin' my life away, they say
throwin' my life away, they say to me

can you remember
last time you felt alive
this nine to five
is just a crutch in the bedpan to me!

throwin' my life away, they say
throwin' my life away, they say
throwin' my life away, they say to me (repeat chorus x 4)
