I'm not to blame if my features were made
To show anger more quickly than joy
It's all that I can do to act like a man
When inside I still feel like a boy
And they've taken away all my toys
It's the set of my jaw that suggests I'm distraught
When I'm really just trying to try
To pretend for an hour or two there's a power
To make me feel more than alive
Make me do more than simply survive
Lately I'm reaching out
Tracing my days in the lines on my face
I get spun around
I swear I was young yesterday
I get too strung out
There's never a winner in any of these games that I play
I look at my day, and I work for my pay
And admit with my back to the wall
That I'd throw in the rag to go back and play tag
With old friends I can barely recall
All the new ones don't know me at all
So let's get in a fight, forget who was right
Let's forget what we're arguing for
Then you throw a high five and you feel so alive
That your heart gets as big as the whole outdoors
And your feet never reach to the floor
Lately I'm reaching out
Tracing my days in the lines on my face
I get spun around
I swear I was young yesterday
I get too strung out
There's never an answer, it's always just something to say
