so here we are

today for another year

you push me 'round

i'm hurt, but you'll see i'm ok

it's typical

new kid don't know the rules

it's the food chain

you'll see who's boss in this school

it's freezing though it's warm

as i recall

and no it's not by punishment

that i learn

so say goodbye

as you see me now

i'm not hopeless, i'm not dumb

words i won't take

as they slowly pass me by

yeah, i'm leaving

so here we are

grown up and in plain view

it's years ago we squared off fighting at school

for me now

the pursuit of a dream

for you now, mortgage and baby screaming
