lyrics

I'm older than I've ever been
And young as I will ever be
Every morning when I wake up
I'm afraid of what I'll see
I'm riding behind a hearse tonight
And I'm wondering why it's not me inside

CHORUS
Hey, hey, I'm on the outside and I'm looking in
I take a breath, close my eyes and count to ten
Still I find I'm outside looking in

I'm strong as I will ever be
Yet I find I can't compete
With everyone who's come before
The Greek gods and the minotaurs
Oh, as I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to reap

CHORUS REPEAT

Everything I thought I wanted
I got in spades
Down the road that led my father
To an early grave

Every place I go
Every place I think I know
Has been trod before
So much more thoroughly
There's nothing in this world that's mine
So I find myself resigned

CHORUS REPEAT
CHORUS REPEAT
