Nothing Ever Happens

I get a little bit nervous whenever I get on a plane
I have this vision where everyone's screaming out their lover's name
And then I think of my mother as I become one with the flames
But nothing ever happens

I get a little bit worried when people forget to call back
I always figure they're hurt or they're lost and they don't have a map
Or maybe high on a mountain and somehow they slipped through the cracks
But nothing ever happens

Nothing ever happens
The way I imagine it will

I had it all in my head where I'd be when I turned 25
Out on the road with a band and a house by the Hollywood sign
And now it feels like all that I'm doing is staying alive
'Cause nothing ever happens
The way I imagine it will

I always figured that I'd be the guy to wind up on his own
That all my habits were too hard to break or my heart was a stone
And then I went to that party and you changed the meaning of home

Nothing ever happens
The way I imagine it will
The way I imagine it will
