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 |
