lyrics

Walking in my sleep
If you’re a king or a Kennedy
It means nothing to me
I’m chasing melodies
On the café down the road
The waitress looks like Sheryl Crow
It’s something that I wrote
It makes me happy

Playing rock guitar
Makes you older, no not younger
Throw it in your car
And bury it in the dirt
I’m always in last place
Someone should have told me it was
All one big race
I would have bought a shirt

Trying one more time
Throwing Red Bull into the wind
I wanna get it right
Even if it hurts
Everything must be great
It’s like an Olympic weight
Falling on your feet
The smell of flowers after a new bloom
A bed of roses you got shoved into
It’s the worst I can do
