Everybody is leaving from this town and from me.
They've got the burning flame, they sure achieve their aim.
You know that's tough for me to see.
Oh, how I wish that I could do the same as them and go.
Just pack my bags and good-bye, get out fast or fade away real slow.

What you see is what you get right here, where a change is nowhere near.
What you see is what you get from me. In this duckpond, leave me be.

I pretend my life is perfect like the faces on TV.
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day, try to deny the misery.
But those are the ways of looney's and like a clown, yeah, I do act
No matter where I could be or would like to go, I'm stuck here. That's a fact.

I'm too weak I'm down on my knees. Too feeble for something new.
Feels like there's nothing I can do.
Keep on laughing 'bout me, keep on doing your own,
But someday I will be that one. Be that one,
yeah, someday I will be that one...

    My Opinion:I truly love this song as I can really relate to it so much. I sometimes feel like I am stuck in a place where I do not want to be, that I just want to go away to move to somewhere where I know I'll have it better, but at the same time I know that such a time that I'll ever get the chance to leave is still so far away, but it will come one day.

    General Comment:I think the people who say pennybridge pioneers sucks and the old stuff is better need a kick in the ass. Although I think the older stuff is great, pennybridge was a step up and forwards for the band. There is no doubt all of their songs are great, but its getting better not worse. Stop thinking you're a hero because you liked them when they started out, if nobody 'jumped on the bandwagon' they'd have piss all supporters. Nobody really cares you were listening to them your whole life, they jsut care about the music.
