Wouldn't You Rather

Lately life's been feeling hard

Like my world's falling apart

Can't help thinking, does it get better?

Take me to another place

I could really use a change of pace

My head's spinning, faster and faster

Oh, oh, let's escape from this chapter

Oh, oh

Wouldn't you rather

Live like a rock star every night

Travel the world, leave your cares behind

Just me and my guitar and my new life, oh yeah

Wouldn't you rather

Spend every day laying in the sun

Never worry 'bout getting homework done

All of my problems are so long gone, oh yeah

Wouldn't you rather stay there forever?

My friends don't really understand

They think my dreams are out of hand

Just support me, or my heart will be shattered

It's not that I don't worry too

There's a million things I need to do

My mind's reeling, I can't take the pressure

Oh, oh, can we fly away faster?

Oh, oh

Wouldn't you rather

Live like a rock star every night

Travel the world, leave your cares behind

Just me and my guitar and my new life, oh yeah

Wouldn't you rather

Spend every day laying in the sun

Never worry 'bout getting homework done

All of my problems are so long gone, oh yeah

Wouldn't you rather stay there forever?

'Cause life seems so much better

With red carpets and glamor

Can I stay up here forever

And live happily ever after?

But if I live like a rock star every night

I can't really leave all my cares behind

We all got problems and hey, that's life

But I can dream

'Cause wouldn't you rather

Live like a rock star every night

Travel the world, leave your cares behind

Just me and my guitar and my new life, oh yeah

Wouldn't you rather

Spend every day laying in the sun

Never worry 'bout getting homework done

All of my problems are here and gone, oh yeah

I think I'd rather stay there forever
