[Spoken Intro]
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the greatest show on earth
This is a song about leaving home

[Verse]
Well, I’m nineteen and I don’t know much about anything
But I ain’t dumb and I’m looking out for those better things
Notice that good things hold me back
Like loving something 'til you crack

[Chorus]
Some dreams were meant for chasing
Some dreams were meant for living
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend

[Verse]
I’m so sick of worrying about my age
I might die young but I’ve still got this lovely day
Might do something to help someone
My time on earth has just begun

[Chorus]
Some dreams were meant for chasing
Some dreams were meant for living
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend

[Verse]
I’m so scared of getting old and missing this
Avoid attachment like a loving kiss
'Cause I don't want to settle down
Yeah I would rather move around

[Chorus]
Some dreams were meant for chasing
Some dreams were meant for living
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend

[Verse]
Each day is burning me alive again
Sometimes I’m grateful when I lose a friend
She will hate me until I die
But treasured memories are mine

[Chorus]
Some dreams were meant for chasing
Some dreams were meant for living
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend
Gonna clean my room and dump my girlfriend

[Bridge]
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you (bring in the bass!)
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you
I think that I will miss you now

[Chorus]
Some dreams were meant for chasing
Some dreams were meant for living
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend

[Chorus]
Some dreams were meant for chasing
Some dreams were meant for living
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend
Gonna burn my room and kill my girlfriend

Cosmo Jarvis

Critic, journalist, sometime musician, onetime actor, and full-time Midwesterner Mark Deming provides a discographic-based biography for Cosmo Jarvis:

“Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis has earned a devoted following for his witty, often satiric tunes about the foibles of relationships and contemporary life, often rooted in personal experience, as well as his own self-produced videos and short subjects that have given his work a global online audience. Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis was born on September 1, 1989 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Jarvis' family relocated to the United Kingdom when he was young, and he grew up in Devon in Southwest England. Jarvis began writing songs when he was only 12 years old, around the same time he began making short films using a VHS video camera. While Jarvis' early videos were little more than documentation of pranks played with his friends, with time he began constructing more complex narratives, and similarly his songs began to evolve, ranging from folk-inspired acoustic guitar pieces and elaborate pop tunes to tongue-in-cheek hip-hop tracks.

At the age of 16, Jarvis quit school to focus on his creative work, and in 2009 he wrote and produced his debut album, an 18-song set called Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch, which was released by the British indie label Wall of Sound. The album combined Jarvis' observational tunes with a cycle of songs reflecting the emotional turmoil of his parents' stormy relationship. Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch received enthusiastic notices from the British music press, but it didn’t sell especially well, and Jarvis teamed with 25th Frame for his second release, Is the World Strange or Am I Strange? A track from the album, “Gay Pirates,” became an Internet sensation after Jarvis' low-budget video for the song was endorsed in a Twitter post by actor and author Stephen Fry, and subsequent airplay helped make the second album a commercial success. While continuing to tour, write songs, and record music, Jarvis has also been writing and directing a feature film, provisionally titled The Naughty Room. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi"
