don't wanna be here - kate wetherhead lyrics

Loading...

i grew up in like, the middle of nowhere
and i swore i would never go back
my hometown was like the suburb of a suburb
i actually lived on a cul-de-sac
that’s literally a road that goes nowhere
that’s the definition of dead end
i said, “i can’t wait to learn to do a three-point-turn”
because i don’t wanna be here

in four long years, i finished up with high school
graduated top of my cl-ss. thank you!
but in college i discovered that devising my own major
was a bureaucratic pain in the -ss
i thought i’d recontextualize sartre
but could only register for first-year french. ha!
well, you should’ve heard my mom when i dropped the bomb
and said, “i don’t wanna be here
no, i don’t wanna be here.”

now, i am not a negative person
it’s just that i’ve always known that i had places to go
dreams to fulfill and ideas to discover
they’re just never where i am

so anyway, back at school
i waited five semesters
till i could snag one of their random degrees
i moved down south, ‘cause i heard everyone was hiring
and they were. at the applebee’s
they fired me, like, three weeks later
my sublet promptly, whoops, fell through
as i checked into a hotel, i said, “it’s just as well
because i don’t wanna be here
no, i don’t wanna be here.”

and i, i was not a negative person
so i packed up my bags, though i had no place to go
i opened a map and said, “show me my future
‘cause it isn’t where i am.”

i finally got a job at some hum-drum office
like everyone right out of school does
i sat there at my cubicle every day
sending faxes, and that’s what my life was
oh, i went back home and said to my parents
“i know what i’ve got to do.”
and since i am a dork
i moved to new york
and i started grad school
i really don’t wanna be here
