" Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse "
Why ?
" Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out "
Why ,
do you live like this ?
" Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out "
Why ,
do you feel this constant need to be validated by a bunch of strangers ?
Why ,
do their opinions coerce your state of mind ?
" I was not born to drown
Baby come on "
" YOLO and all is fine ;
But ,
do you really mean it ? "
" Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin
Leave a note on your bed
Let your mother know you're safe "
When was the last time you did something impulsive ?
Something utterly , terribly stupid that made you smile.
" And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state "
Something ,
for yourself ?
We'll have driven through the night
Baby come on "
So , come on.
" If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against your dying day ? "
Your existence means more than that.
" And when we looked outside
Couldn't even see the sky
How do you pay the rent
Is it your parents
Or is it hard work dear ? "
You ,
are more than just that.
" Holding the atmosphere
I don't wanna live like that, yeah "
So ,
are you willing to do something bout' it ?
" If the sun don't shine on me today
If the subways flood and bridges break
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight "
Something ,
they ' ve not anticipated yet .
" Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
Decide on me, yea decide on us
Are you willing to live a life less than extraordinary ?
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois "
It 's your call .
" Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out "
