This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events - And we all just idealize the past
So I've come to the realization
That if I could go back in time
And not get involved with any of them, I would
And without a second thought
People always ask me what it's like to not be able to eat cake, and ice cream, and cookies
And I say that I never have, so I don't really know what I'm missing
And since I can't eat all those nice unhealthy things, I'm in good shape
I'd rather people ask me what's it like to not love
I'd say that I never have, so I don't know what I'm missing
...but at least I'm not an angry, bitter, waste of a person
When we're kids, we're always asked what we want to be when we grow up
We want to be firefighters, and police men, and teachers, and astronauts
All I want is to be able to look back and say "It was all worth it"
I don't care if it's tomorrow, or on my death bed
I just want to come out on top once in my life
...no kid ever thinks that
I had delusions of grandeurs
Now I strive for mediocrity
That if I could go back in time
And not get involved with any of them, I would
And without a second thought
People always ask me what it's like to not be able to eat cake, and ice cream, and cookies
And I say that I never have, so I don't really know what I'm missing
