Verse 1:
You’ll be accepting my apology
For taking things too seriously
Sometimes I’m old enough to keep routines
Sometimes I’m child enough to scream
For everything I broke in two
You’re barely missing me I’m missing you
And everything you do I really do
I really do Sure I do
Refrain 1:
My once photographic memory
For recollections’s sake is failing me
I can’t remember for the life of me
Chorus:
Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I’ve proven wrong
(repeat)
We move on
Verse 2:
Get a job where I tell
All of my accounts of someone else
I’m quick enough to judge that they were wrong
And that we knew it all along
Sing a long long-winded song
(hold) (hold)
I would be content to hum along Humm
Bridge:
If I state that my fingers know where to show
What everyone should have known
I’ll let it go
Hopefully you’ll forget
Any words that I put in print
(hold)
My luck, you’ll change
Have strength enough to walk away
(Repeat Chorus 4 times)
Outro:
(hold)
Wrong
