This morning I wake to be older than you were
Fresh white snow for miles
Every footstep will be mine.
I refuse to rot like my contemporaries
I want to explode in a karaoke supernova
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode?
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed.
I don't get
Many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns
And stumbles and falls
Brought me here.
So much time and so little to say..
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before.
Why you gotta act like you know, if you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything.
Who knows why some satellites come by and by while others disappear into the sky.
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are.
When you don't care then
You've got nothing to lose
And I won't hesitate
Because every moment life is slipping away
It's okay.
All this breathing in
Never breathing out.
I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.
You nodded off in my arms watching tv
I won’t move you an inch
Even though my arm’s asleep.
Would you look at me I'm crazy
But I get the job done
Yeah, I'm crazy but I get the job done.
Last night I was east with them
And west within
Trying to be for you what you wanna see.
You have made me smile again
In fact, I might be sore from it.
It's been a while
I know we've been together many times before
I'll see you on the other side.
