Lyrics without music

Apr 29, 2009 17:30



Thirty-Two goin somewhere

I’m gonna find another path

I’ll write myself another song

This rut is gettin so ugly

I’ve been in it far too long

I was slow to see it

I can’t live all your lives

So slow to need it

Now I’m changing my mind

We’ll work it out, oh yeah

I just,

I just keep saying that

But it’s pretty cold comfort

When the solutions don’t quite cover

I was an open-minded youth

I knew almost every solution

To love, hate, life, death

Until I had to live through ‘em

Don’t condescend

I had to live it to learn it

Your vaulted advice was nice

But I don’t plan to get it perfect

We’ll work it out, oh yeah

I just,

I just keep praying that

But it’s pretty cold comfort

When the solutions don’t quite cover

Making my own way

Seems a lonely proposition

But so many of my choices

Became life-long limitations

It’s painful to shed my skin

A security blanket left behind

I don’t know where this is leading

But now I’m changing my mind
