Nada Surf - Amateur

You made me feel like I'm ok,
I could be happy
Now I can sit,
Not run away stupidly laughing
Wipe out all self-pity,
It's slowing me down
Turn off feeling pretty,
Dressing up dressing down.

I walk around the city out of my way,
Looking for something
I've got all that I need to save my day,
So why'm I running?

You said I should get professional help,
It always makes me cry.
I know I'm just an amateur, but
I've gotta try.

I had a birthday party and it was packed,
Got friends who love me
We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights,
They were so lovely

You said I should get professional help,
It always makes me cry.
I know I'm just an amateur, but
I've gotta try.

When exactly are we?
I get the decades mixed up.
I like the streets when they're empty,
I can make the rest up.

Every day is new year's eve, every night is the last night.
Every day is new year's eve, every time is the last time.
