Expectations Lyrics by Three Days Grace

Transit of Venus

2012

[Verse 1]
Baby innocent
One day gonna be decadent
Prom Queen, Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs
Sixteen, little runaway
Running from the Five-O and got away
From a small town with no scene
Looking for a shot on the big screen

[Chorus]
Expectations
Go to hell
Expectations
Go to hell

[Verse 2]
Not so innocent
On the streets hustling
Never be Miss America
In the backseat of a Celica
Crashing with a deadbeat
Living large on a love seat
In a small town, no scene
Turns out it was nothing but a pipe dream

[Chorus]
Expectations
Go to hell
Expectations
Go to hell

[Verse 3]
Rich girl wannabe
Bought a quick pick for the lottery
Watching TV with her boyfriend
Fell asleep, left the ticket on the nightstand
He stayed awake to see the ball drop
Turned it way down
She never woke up
Grabbed the keys to her car in the back lot
Threw a shot of Jack back
Left with the jackpot

[Chorus]
Expectations
Go to hell
Prom Queen, Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs
Expectations
Go to hell
Never be Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs
