|
| You’re a wet cigarette,
|
| you’re always second best,
|
| they’re never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
|
| So you fight for them to realize,
|
| there’s more to life,
|
| there’s more to you,
|
| there’s more than meets the eye.
|
| And when you’re done, the battle’s been won,
|
| you sit back, you smile,
|
| And this is what you hum, you hum,
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh.
|

|
| (Years!) go by, the time it does fly, (Whoa oh oh)
|
| Every single second is a moment in time, (Whoa oh oh)
|
| that passes oh so quick, and it seems like nothing, (Whoa oh oh)
|
| but when you’re looking back, well it amounts to everything,
|
| (Whoa) I’ve got myself, I’ve got my friends, (Whoa oh oh)
|
| I’ve got my little family, but that’s not where it ends, (Whoa oh oh)
|
| This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone, (Whoa oh oh)

|
| the main difference here is that I (try! try! try!)
