lyrics

As long as I’ve been playing
You’d think I’d be better than this
It’s hit or miss
And I hate to think I peaked in high school
But I still find
I court the rebellion that I used to sing about
And how it all amounts to constant doubts
And a path made of wasted time
I’m wasting time

You could say I’m out of practice
That I don’t have “the stuff”
Or maybe I just finally realized
I never had enough
The truth is it’s all relative
I’ll do this with a little bit of apprehension
But I just wanna leave part of me behind
A little piece behind
I’m a little bit behind

I thought I found my calling
But it might be I heard it wrong
It’s not a song
It’s a wishing-well that kept me thirsty
Cuz I don’t drink
But got plenty wasted seeking enlightenment
And what I meant to waste, I spent the race
Incessantly checking for time

Chorus

(bridge)I dreamed in modern parlance
But it turns out that I never woke
I only spoke
Like a low-key loser dad in high school
But I don’t mind
As long as I’m telling the truth I’m a decent man
I’m thinking honestly, that honesty
Is closer to love than to fear.
So don’t you fear

Chorus
