Inertia

I've worn the same skinny jeans since I was 15

It's probably nothing

Inertia

My friends say they're quitting this week, to chase down their dreams

They're probably bluffing, but

Don't you like it bigger, better, but you do what you can?

Don't you like a little better when you don't understand?

I was gonna save the planet but today I've got plans

I guess this is just what I am

I'm an object in motion, I've lost all emotion

My two legs are broken, but look at me dance

An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going

'Cause where I am going is right where I am

Where I am going is right where I am

Inertia

You said you'd break up with her

But she met your family and dating's the worst, yeah

Inertia

Now you're not in love anymore

But you'll stick it out for like, 20 years more

Sayin' oh

Don't you like it bigger, better, but you do what you can?

Don't you like a little better when you don't understand?

I was gonna save the planet but today I've got plans

I guess this is just what I am

I'm an object in motion, I've lost all emotion

My two legs are broken, but look at me dance

An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going

'Cause where I am going is right where I am (Oh, man)

Where I am going is right where I am (Oh, man)

Where I am going is right where I am

Inertia

I wanna move out of this town

But everyone knows me and packing is tiring

Inertia

I said I would start working out

But I'm f-' hungry and screw you, I'm trying

Inertia

I wanna be big like my plans

So why am I so tiny and why am I so mad?

It's Inertia

Guess this is just what I am

I'm stuck in this life and I'm stuck in these pants

...

I'm an object in motion, I've lost all emotion

My two legs are broken, but look at me dance

An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going

'Cause where I am going is right where I am (Oh yeah)

Where I am going is right where I am

Oh, man

Where I am going is right where I am

Oh, Inertia
