a little smarter when it comes to that
here's a story bout a boy and his way
of getting thru his day
when his head spins
and he wonders
and he bothers
thinking about bits and pieces
and it all looks the same
his head hung low in shame
- how I struggle, oh bother!
yeah he bothers
and somewhere lost along the way
is that thing he calls believing
in a desperate act he tries to
follow thru but he winds up
blaming iton the world
and his girlfriend
the boy is trying so hard
that his head soon falls out of its place
scared to loose his face he reduce to
being bitter and self-righteous
thinking of hundredmillion reasons
just to justify the state that he's in
convinced that he can win
his honor by biting his tongue hard enough
and somewhere lost along the way
is that feeling he calls being
in a desperate act he tries to
push it thru with tears
as he's repeating
his pleading
i wish i was
a little wiser when it comes to that
i wish i was
a little smarter when it comes to that
i wish i was
a little thicker skinned than i
but i'm not
so working my thru as i go on
i wish i was
a little smarter when it comes to that
that's no way to be strong
you're losing your head
and it's all going wrong
you're walking thru a storm
with open arms
