lyrics

and i got a fortune cookie
that told me i would complete my goal in two months.
and i got to wondering what my goals were.
and i came up with this much:

first i would really like to have my band play
at a punk rock show.
my second one would be to smile at least once a day
and laugh at least once at a stupid joke
my other goal is to get rid of this girlfriend
who deserves so much better than me.

i can't provide for anyone.
not for you, not for me.

another goal of mine is to grow up a little,
i'm almost released into this big world.
and i'm wondering what this guitar has to do with all of that.
can it take me up into the sky and save my soul?

and my other goal is to kiss tori
at least once on the lips.
i don't know if we'll meet halfway inbetween
her state and mine.

and i hope you will forgive me
for all the lies i've told.
there are few and there are many.
some are are new, some are old.

and i can't play these same songs
til i lie in the ground
my fingers have grown sore and stiff
and i just want to be someone else.

there's a symphony behind me.
i can feel it...

and i've had this same feeling
since i was 9 years old.
i'm wondering if it's all worth it.
like those stories i was told.

you were my one and only,
you are my only goal.
this is a race to florida,
and i'm going for the gold.
