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.
