All she ever wanted Was to be Gloria Steinem But that gig was already booked So when she graduated She thought that she could fake it In some Bushwick neighborhood Now she's coked out of her mind Lower East Side all the time She figures man, this is all she wrote And when I gotta listen To all the dreams she left behind She hides it with some ironic joke She hides it with some ironic joke She says I wasn't ready for this yet I wasn't ready for this yet All the time wasted regret I wasn't ready for this yet She had this little letter That she wrote when she was seven To the person that she'd become How she would be a doctor And a lawyer and a mother And the president all at once Well she tried to laugh it off When she showed me all that stuff She was drunk from when the night begun Then she took a zippo lighter Lit those desires all on fire And held it like a smoking gun She said, "Tell me boy have you ever fucked like this? Do you and your girls do you do it like this?" I can't even think about it When the world keeps on crumbling The world keeps on crumbling I wasn't ready for this yet I wasn't ready for this yet All the time wasted regret I wasn't ready for this yet Now everytime she tells me 'bout her family vacation To some foreign nation she couldn't stand I gotta think about when I was just a kid Convinced a hundred bucks would be enough To save all skins And every moment felt like glass shattering Yes every moment felt like glass shattering Yes every moment felt like glass shattering But from this distance those shards keep glistening I wasn't ready for this yet I wasn't ready for this yet All the time wasted regret I wasn't ready for this yetI wasn't ready for this yet I wasn't ready for this yet All the time wasted regret I wasn't ready for this yet
