  • Please tell me what is taking place
    'Cause I can't seem to find a trace
    Guess it must have got erased somehow

    Probably 'cause I always forget
    Every time someone tells me their name
    It's always gotta be the same

    (In my World)
    Never wore cover-up
    Always beat the boys up
    Grew up in a 5000 population town

    Made my money by cutting grass
    Got fired by fried chicken ass
    All in a small town, Napanee

    You know I always stay up without sleepin'
    And think to myself
    Where do I belong forever
    In whose arms, the time and place?

    Can't help if I space in a daze
    My eyes tune out the other way
    I may switch off and go in a daydream

    In this head my thoughts are deep
    But sometimes I can't even speak
    Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

    I never spend less than an hour
    Washin' my hair in the shower
    It always takes 5 hours to make it straight

    So I'll braid it in a zillion braids
    Though it may take all friggen day
    There's nothin' else better to do anyway

    When you're all alone in the lands of forever
    Lay under the milky way
    On and on it's getting too late out
    I'm not in love this time this night

    Can't help if I space in a daze
    My eyes tune out the other way
    I may switch off and go in a daydream
    In this head my thoughts are deep
    But sometimes I can't even speak
    Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

    Take some time
    Mellow out
    Party up
    But don't fall down
    Don't get caught
    Sneak out of the house

    Can't help if I space in a daze
    My eyes tune out the other way
    I may switch off and go in a daydream

    In this head my thoughts are deep
    But sometimes I can't even speak
    Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

    Can't help if I space in a daze
    My eyes tune out the other way
    I may switch off and go in a daydream

    In this head my thoughts are deep
    But sometimes I can't even speak
    Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World Writer/s: Avril Lavigne, Clif Magness
