When you were young and your mom was in charge
And you saw the whole world from the back of the car
It was easy to see how someday you could be something big
But now you're grown and you make all the rules
You can stand on your head, you can sleep in the pool
And you don't have to clean and you don't have to say that you did

You get lonely sometimes when the stars don't shine
And you get a little drunk some nights wishing you were a kid again
Wanting someone to hold your hand

Nobody's coming to get you baby
Nobody's coming to get you
Nobody's going to make this easy
Nobody's going to set you up with a house on the hill
With a bottle of pills
And a nice set of china to eat all your meals
Well it's sad, but it's true
Nobody's coming to get you

There was a time not so long ago
When you felt like a champ from your head to your toes
And you bought every line that your professors sold to you
They said your fate was to soar to the moon
And your writing was great and you were pretty too!
