I've never been a man to care or even know who all was there And I was proudly unaware of any need to fix my hair But it got easy to compare, and harder to admit That I'd been running out of air and getting scared to call it quits Running out of pavement to manage the perception Of hearing everybody's parents say, "Ooh, he's great" I predicate that I'm okay with a straight face To keep it up in any way and pray that my bones don't break Gimme one trip down the stairs without a disappointed stare To try to sterilize the damage from my arrogant affair That's getting pretty hard to manage I'm wasted by the regularity of morning panic Getting overly dramatic about the daylight Goodnight, goodbye, 'till I avoid it 'Cause its hard to pick up anything at all over the noise But it's alright, alright, alright if it's important I'll button up my shirt and do my best to be supportive Running out of pavement to manage the perception Of hearing everybody's parents say, "Ooh, he's great" I predicate that I'm okay with a straight face To keep it up in any way and pray that my bones don't break Running out of pavement to manage the perception Of hearing everybody's parents say, "Ooh, he's great" I predicate that I'm okay with a straight face To keep it up in any way and pray that my bones don't break
