mike mike schmid --born yesterday

[in__my__haste]

Spent a long time on this earth.
It sems longer everyday.
But inside the same old skin, everything has changed
And here's a flaming birthday cake.
All those burning years are on display
But it's all such a lie, 'cause I know inside
I was born yesterday

I've spent a long time as myself
Or the self I used to be
He was one in a long line of people imitating me
So just forget the things I used to say
Chances are good that I don't feel that way anymore
It's hard to keep track, but there's no going back
Since I was born yesterday.

So let's pretend that we can start again
We'll pick up where we left off before,
But not quite, it's like that guy made a slight right,
and no one recognized him anymore.

Well, the sun is shining brightly, like it's almost making fun
And the radio is playing, "we've only just begun"
It's so bizarre, yet so cliche,
that everyday is a new day, and all those candles can't make me stay the same,
Since I was born yesterday.
