about

this is a song i wrote about my grandma.
she told me she would disown me if i went in a particular direction with my life, and so this song was cowritten with BO KITZMAN, THE GENIUS!
but i love her, and she loves me, and she dances around her living room to this song as if i am not telling her like it is in the song.
i'm cool with it.
we'll call it the COLLEGE ANTHEM

lyrics

packed my bags and i'm out the door
don't know what i'm leaving for
just thought that you should know
there's really nothing that you can do
i just need to get away from you
and everybody here
i may be gone for a week, i may be gone for a year
don't tell me that i should stay
i'm going anyway
and i will find my way
i'll come back one day
i hope that you will see this side of me
if it's what i wanna be
*weird noises by me and friends in the background*
watch you frown as i cross the way
so many wrinkles in your pretty face
you know i hate to leave
but i spent my life just moving around
what's the point in stopping now?
there's nothing for me here
i may be gone for a week, i may be gone for a year
don't tell me that i should stay, i'm going anyway
and i will find my way
i'll come back one day
i hope that you will see this side of me
if it's what i wanna be
please don't hate me when i go
i'll be alright
i just thought that you should know
i'm living my own life
i will find my way
i'll come back one day
i will find my way
i'll come back one day
i hope that you will see this side of me
if it's what i wanna be
HEY!
