Asked for money on the street by a guy I used to work out with at the Y People breaking up online these days Daily status updates show us all the ways When did this happen ? When did this change ? Maybe I’m the one who’s been rearranged When did this happen ? When did you see ? Maybe I’m the one who hates society Taking two steps back from people who are different from you and me You don’t realize what you’re doing, it’s all unconsciously Usually I’m really glad But sometimes I see things that make me feel so bad So many great things to be had But there’s so much in this world that makes me feel so sad Cruelty, all cruelty Cruelty, all cruelty When did this happen ? When did this change ? Maybe I’m the one who’s been rearranged When did this happen ? When did it start ? What led us all to kill the heart ? LTO takes her parents to her class She’ll never get hired because she’s been an ass Guy I work with drinks all day Doesn’t recognize me, got nothing to say Usually I’m really glad But sometimes I see things that make me feel so bad So many great things to be had But there’s so much in this world that makes me feel so sad

Most of the family lets me down Don’t see a lot of them coming round Old friends kind of bow in and out Now I know that’s not what it’s about It’s so easy for me To live life in the key of E Sometimes my body lets me down Finances don’t always come around Work can make it feel like you drown Problems gonna run you out of town That’s when you’ve gotta stop and think Figure it out and look for a link Smell the flowers and stop for a drink Pull your hand out, straighten the kink And you look like me, you look like me And you look like me, you even look like me It must be meant to be To live life in the key of E Often my brain lets me down Bad thoughts slip in and stress me out Need something to distract me away Need something to get up for every day That’s when you’ve gotta take a lesson Check you ego and start confessing What’s it about, why are you here ? You’re outta control, who’s gonna steer ? And you look like me, you look like me Yeah you look like me, you even look like me It would be too easy To live life in the key of C It’s so right for me To live life in the key of E

From the precipice of Holy Island To the gritty streets of Whitechapel From the tracks in back of Paddington Station There’s a lot of really funky people Haven’t known you for too long, too long But I know you enough to know I like you From the pubs across from the Green Park To suburbia in Kettering town The Whitby cliffs and the Darlington country Some funky shit is going down Haven’t known you for too long, too long But I know you enough to see Haven’t know you for that long, that long But I know you enough to know you’re like me You’re like me

Conform C’mon people, can’t you see ? There’s no one way to be There is no normal We’ve all got them, yes indeed Idiosyncrasies There is no normal She feels dumb, he sucks his thumb Her last boyfriend married her mom He cries, she lies, he’s fake, she’s gay His dad wears ladies’ clothes by day She likes it rough, he isn’t tough She’s stressed, depressed, represses stuff He plays with dolls, she hates the walls He goes in buckets over falls C’mon people, can’t you see ? There’s no one way to be There is no normal We’ve all got them, yes indeed Idiosyncrasies There is no normal He was abused, she’s never refused A drug or smoke or sex or booze He fights, she writes, he’s disabled Her aunt gives everything a label C’mon people, can’t you see ? There’s no one way to be There is no normal We’ve all got them, yes indeed Idiosyncrasies There is no normal He hates his dad, she likes no one He never lets himself have fun She works all night, he sleeps all day And she obsesses over fate And then there’s me…

Pain and ignorance conspire against us There’s very few who are as cool as you Fear and weakness are all around here Thank something I’ve got you to get me through Acquiescent lameness surrounds the city Nobody I’d rather have by my side Predictability will kill the spirit Let’s face fate while the others hide It’s you and me against the world Against the hypocrites and liars, girl Against the ignorant, against the fools Against narrow, self-imposed rules Comfort and guile can be our enemies There’s no one here that I like more than you Insecurity is easy to fall upon Have several drinks before the night is through Coyness is vain all over the country You are the antidote for all that’s bad Following the crowd is never academic If you weren’t here I’d be so sad It’s you and me against the world Against the weak and complacent, girl Against delusion and confusion’s reign Against the pity and against the pain What do you live for ? What would you die for ? Who are your needs for ? Who do you cry for ? Where are you going ? When are you leaving ? Are you dreaming ? Are you deceiving ? It’s you and me against the world Against the cookie-cutter boys and girls Against the must-do and the must-have crew Against the world, it’s just me and you

I’m the one never paid for a drink I’m the one never had to think I’m the one you all want to be I’m the one, just take it from me Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? You’re my #1 fan Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? I’m your #1 man You’re the one – you idolize me Even though I’ve never done anything Except play a game or guitar Make money, man, that’s my art Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? You’re my #1 fan Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? I’m your #1 man It’s entitlement, it’s arrogant Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? #1 businessman Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? I play football, goddamn Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? It’s all a big scam Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? Do you know who I am ? I’m your #1 band

Going Home 03:18
I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home I’m happy to be there, even happier to leave there I love my family, love my friends, love my old house til the end Love the places where I worked, my old girlfriends and the jerks Love my schools, my playgrounds, Cambridge sights and Hespeler sounds Also driving me insane , I gotta get out while I can I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home So happy to be there, even happier to leave there I’m leaving home I’m leaving home I’m leaving home Great place to visit but not so great to live in I love the neighbours, love the streets, love the people, love the beats Love the places I shot hoops, road hockey, factory roofs The countryside, my old haunts, places I went to with Scott Bars I drank in underage, it also makes me insane Whatever happened in my life ? I moved away, I found a wife I love my hometown, yes I do But I outgrew it just like you

The only regrets I have are the risks I didn’t take I put it down to being young and not knowing what was at stake I’ve got a 3 a.m. anxiety thing that’s been going on Things pop into my head, it’s stuff that I thought was long gone I’ve committed my share of sins but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been There’s some people that I’ve left behind since standing there in 1995 The key is your state of mind – I found mine at the intersection of my life The intersection of my life The intersection of my life First at Vinnie’s then at Whiskey’s I met the love of my night As time passed I realized that I met the love of my life I haven’t lived it for that long but this is what I’ve found People come and people go but the good ones stay around I’ve committed my share of sins but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been There’s some people that I’ve left behind since standing there in 1995 The key is your state of mind – I found mine at the intersection of my life The intersection of my life The intersection of my life The intersection of my life

Left right and centre people calling it quits Some fought a lot and some a little bit High expectations or just a bad mix ? People are always looking for a quick fix Like a sister needs a brother Like a half needs another Like a nympho needs a lover I need you I need you Somebody tell me why People say goodbye I expect everyone to lie All except you Everywhere you look it’s going down Sober second thought, and no one’s hanging around Maybe for the best but there’s a lot of frowns Will there be regrets cause I don’t know that sound Like a rebel needs a gun Like a plant needs the sun Like a runner needs to run I need you I need you Somebody tell me how One can just end it now I expect a final bow From all except you

Faces online somehow have changed I didn’t recognize some, refreshed the page Like a wine we get better with age From inexperienced to wise old sage We’re better than alright Always up for a fight If we feel like we’re right We’re better than alright Comfortable in our lives As we approach the late 30’s Ten years older are laughing at us Twenty up can’t get enough Thirty more say we’re so young They’re right and we already know it, son We’re better than alright Always down for a flight Making music until we die We’re better than alright Up for seeing the sights What are you doing tonight ? Our legacies stand before us They say thanks and hello in malls and restaurants Our legacies they force us To feed them, hang out with them, play with them – give them what they want! So many years, it doesn’t feel long We take our lives and put them to song Still look around to see what’s going on My buddy Thom sang “Where have all my high school friends gone ?” We’re better than alright Half-full not half-light We always look for the light in the darkness We’re better than alright Comfortable in our lives As we hit the late 30’s
