about

lyrics

Today I ran into an old friend of mine, he’s doin’ just fine;
Not to compare, but man his life is big time, and his wife is a dime;
I’m runnin’ round in a perpetual loop, is it self imposed;
A byproduct of keeping my head down, and both my eyes closed;

I’m a man, at least they tell me I am;
It’s such a scam, how I even got here I just simply don’t understand;

I’m always waiting round for things to occur, degrees to confer;
A backseat driver in some high-speed chase, everything is a blur;
My friend, you know that we were promised the stars at just seventeen;
But now I’m hiding in the diviest bars, camouflaged here in green;

I’m a man, at least they tell me I am;
It’s such a scam, how I even got here I just simply don’t understand;

And I can’t hold out;
I can’t hold it in, this immeasurable doubt;
Don’t come up to me with suggestions ‘bout where to begin;
Everything you tell me simply overwhelms me and I don’t think I’ll ever get back there again;

I’m a man, at least they tell me I am;
It’s such a scam, how I even got here I just simply don’t understand;
