I wrote this the same night after I came home from seeing my first Wonder Years show which was around two months ago or so and it was a lot different when I first wrote it but this is what I ended up being satisfied with, it has nothing to with that but more something Dan Campbell was saying to the crowd in between one of the songs that really struck me. It was something about finding where you belong and all that jazz. Hope you like it.
And if you're curious to know, "Why I'm Not Where You Are" is a song by The American Scene, they weren't at the show I was just obsessed with this song when I wrote this and it fits the topic kind of.



This is the day I came to conclusion
Dan says we all need to find a home
And I won't bullshit anymore, I feel alone
I don't know if this is where I should be
I spend half of my time thinking about leaving
But I'm still here, just thinking about it

If there was a reason or a rhyme
I'd give away all of it, every bit of time I have
Just to feel like I belong where I'm at
And if it's not in Seattle, then tell me why it hurts like hell
Giving up the one place I don't miss at all
'Cause I never left, my head and my heart have been kept
As easy as it seems I think the chance to leave
Would be harder than how much I've been thinking about everything

I've been given a sunrise and a blank stare to show me
Somewhere else might be where I belong
'Cause this shitty weather just isn't what I thought it'd be
And maybe it's starting to reflect how I've felt all along

Can't say a word to anyone in real life
Something tells me they think I'm just scared
But I was done being scared 2 years ago
Nowadays I really don't know what I want
All my ideas are impaired by the people I connect with
And how much I try to be better than this
It's like my thoughts have been replaced with “Why I'm Not Where You Are”
And I'll say this again, I want to make a decision, but it's hard

I've been given a sunrise and a blank stare to show me
Somewhere else might be where I belong
'Cause this shitty weather just isn't what I thought it'd be
And maybe it's starting to reflect how I've felt all along

I'm broke, can't drive
Don't know how to hold a note
Or how to make up my mind about anything, It's a joke
All I know how to do is learn to be myself, whatever that means
I write songs about words I've already spoken, just in metaphor
So now this is coming in crystal clear
I'm young and dumb and I can hate the world
For all it cares, I'm just a speck, that's what were all told

I've been given a sunrise and a blank stare to show me
Somewhere else might be where I belong
'Cause this shitty weather just isn't what I thought it'd be
And maybe it's starting to reflect how I've felt all along
Maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm not
But I'm still holding on
