Dag Nasty – Bottle This lyrics

So tired
Of trying to keep up
With someone else's pace
You got a new tattoo
But the same old face
Complacency is the enemy
And I've been acting old
There's got to be more to life than
Doing what we're told

You can't bottle this
It always slips away
Shut out
Of a dream we had not long ago
There's nothing to prove, nothing to show
We've been told all this before
So why am I still keeping score

Constraints
Are all around you
Every single day
When you're feeling overloaded
You can't run away
And everywhere you go
There's another wall in life
No matter where you look
There's no end in sight

You can't bottle this
It always slips away
Shut out
Of a dream we had not long ago
There's nothing to prove, nothing to show
We've been told all this before
And I'm still keeping score

I understand you've got pressures
But I can't accept your reaction
It's been a long road
Is it all a distraction?
Birth, school, work, death
These are things we all have to accept
Sometimes it feels like you're hitting a wall?
I can't make sense of it all!

Shut out
It's another time and another place
Get a different view and a brand new take
It's another time and another place
Get a different view and a brand new take
It's a brand new day (It's a brand new day)
It's a brand new day (It's a brand new day)
(Brand new day)
It's a brand new day (It's a brand new day)
(Brand new day)
It's a brand new day
