lyrics

Learned a thing or three along the way
Mostly how I don’t know nothin’
And the best I can say
It hasn’t been all bad
But when I say that you know I’m just bluffin’
If only I knew then what I know now
I wouldn’t be in such a stupid mess
But isn’t that just what
Everyone always says
When they back on their life’s progress

Where there’s life there’s hope or so I’ve read
And I would like to think that’s true
Maybe I’m the sort of man
Who’s doomed to be a failure
Or maybe one day I’ll finally break on through

Well I once had such big ideas
But looking back they seem absurd
They were the thoughts
That felt important when I was young
But now they’re all dreams deferred
Nowadays I get up at four in the morn
I have a cup and then I do some writing
Try to mark my days the best that I can
Collect my thoughts while they’re still biting

These are the days and this is the time
The time I am living in
Trying my best to do what I can
I am not yet giving in

This is the road, the road I’m on
And it’s getting near to the end
But before I get there I need to know
That it wasn’t all just pretend
