Is this really what growing up is all about?

going off to college. leaving everything you've had behind. i dont want school to control my life for 4 years. maybe you can say i got spoiled. but i dont want to get used to this. i almost feel like im just going to be running from all of the problems in my town. all of the fears i've had there. is going away moving forward in life, or just moving backwards because you're really just running away? i dont want to make new friends, i dont want to change. for the most part, i like the way i am and the friends i have. maybe you just need some one to "run away" with. maybe that's why it feels like it's gona be so hard for me and at times its hard now. i think after college ill be able to be someone i want to be. go somewhere ill feel just the slightest bit at home. but im giving myself 4 years to be able to fuck up all of that.

pack my bags and say goodbye
im running away just so i can run back
no one is by my side as i write this track
when i got here no one was waiting to say hi

would you believe that once again, im lonely?
it's the same old story about falling down
my heart is tied to the ground
no more dark streetlights in small towns
i take in all the city's sights and sounds
leaving the life i knew, im college bound
i will get lost, but never found
i will get scared, and live feeling down
for me what's in store? another heartbreak with no pity
hit the floor; im holding up the city
until it lets me leave
easily
peacefully
quitely
but please, right now, just lie to me
say its going to be alright
