Things The Grandchildren Should Know |
I go to bed real early |
Everybody thinks it’s strange |
I get up early in the morning |
No matter how disappointed I was with the day before |
It feels new |
I don’t leave the house much |
I don’t like being around people |
Makes me nervous and weird |
I don’t like going to shows either |
It’s better for me to stay home |
Some might think it means that I hate people |
But that’s not quite right |
I do some stupid things |
But my heart’s in the right place |
And this I know |
I got a dog, I take him for a walk |
And all the people like to say «hello.» |
I’m used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks |
I’m learning how to say hello |
Without too much trouble |
I’m turning out just like my father |
Though I swore I never would |
Now, I can say that i have love for him |
I never really understood |
What it must have been like for him |
Living inside his head |
I feel like he’s here with me now |
Even though he’s dead |
It’s not all good and it’s not all bad |
Don’t believe everything you read |
I’m the only one who knows what it’s like |
So I thought I’d better tell you |
Before I leave |
So, in the end, I’d like to say |
That I’m a very thankful man |
I tried to make the most of my situations |
And enjoy what I had |
I knew true love and I knew passion |
And the difference between the two |
And I have some regrets |
But if I could do it all again |
Well, it’s something I’d like to do |
