lyrics

Kid, I was 21
When I realized all the fun I missed along the way
Hey hey, Mr. 17
No that doesn't mean you have to plan out everyday

Trapped in the one way mode
With no exit road it seems you're stuck in between
And so, it's alright with me
Take a fantasy and live it out, that secret dream

I could've been famous, the LA movie star
The weatherman who'll botch the 7-day
Hooray, those fantasies bizarre
Sometimes I wonder oh-so-bad of the life I could've had

Dear, the me of 10
Do you know when I was plastered in this grand facade
My god, did I go too fast
Did I past the point of no return or did I blink

If I could only switch
Maybe find my niche within the popular crowd
So loud I would be with them
Get rich, again, and earn my way to fame if I'm allowed

I could've been famous, the LA movie star
The weatherman who'll botch the 7-day
Hey hey, well I can take it far
Sometimes I wonder oh-so-bad of the life I could've had
Sometimes I think til I go mad, of that life I could've had

Fame may have its drawbacks, just a bit
All that pressure just to write that hit
The mood is gone, the mood is gone, and I know, I know

Kid, I was 21
I'm the only one to live this life in which I made
I paid, but I still can dream
And so it seems I've got to make it big before I fade

I could've been famous, the LA movie star
The weatherman who'll botch the 7-day
Hooray, those fantasies bizarre

Sometimes I think, oh just a tad
That I may be a little lad
Who cannot stand the very bad
And thinks of what will make him glad

My current life is not enough
Or so I think I'll just be tough
But still think til I go mad of that life I could've had
