Amateur

Nada Surf

You made me feel like i'm ok, i could be happy


now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing


wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down


turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.


i walk around the city out of my way, looking for something


i've got all that i need to save my day, so why'm i running?


you said i should get professional help, it always makes me cry.


i know i'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try.


i had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me


we hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely


when exactly are we? i get the decades mixed up.


i like the streets when they're empty, i can make the rest up.


every day is new year's eve, every night is the last night.


every day is new year's eve, every time is the last time.
