Tell me why I try. Show me who I've moved. I'm penning thoughts that speak to empty rooms. It's easy to forget. The things I feel which are important. Are only in my little world. And the things I say. Even if I open a vein. Won't make much of a dent. Can't change the world. [Chorus] Oh, a song should go like that. Oh, pick up a pen and kick back. That's not how it is. Can't you see? Something had to happen to move me. An ounce of my life and a lot of time. Are all I can offer college ruled lines. Can't change the world [Chorus]
