Nada Surf - Amateur lyrics

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
