Workin’ through winter, they say the coldest in years
The nights get longer than the days
I often sleep in sleep in, just tryin’ to pass the hours
Dreamin’ of California rays
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
I never see the sun stuck in this place
Light of my life is gone and I miss her face
Oh, they’re all out having fun
Guess I’ll wait another day to see the sun
I drink my coffee, then I’ll have a pint or three,
Maybe some weed to get me through
We’ll stay out late, drinking the night away
Looking for something to do
Do, do, do, do,
I never see the sun stuck in this place
Light of my life is gone and I miss her face
Oh, they’re all out having fun
Guess I’ll wait another day to see the sun
Every morning, I drive the same route
Over the bridge by Munson Park
Don’t keep sunglasses in my car anymore
Cause I’m always driving in the dark
The doctors all agree
When prescribing pills of Vitamin D
I never see
I never see the sun stuck in this place
Light of my life is gone and I miss her face
Oh, they’re all out having fun
Guess I’ll wait another day to see the sun

You remind me of somebody that I once knew
You look so similar I’d swear it was you
Your hairs the same but you don’t talk so loud
Now you act like you’re afraid that you might draw a crowd
I’ve seen your face around and about this town
I could have sworn that we’d been through this by now
It’s the same old story of a prince and a crown
I’ll throw a party just so I can dress up like a clown
Would anybody notice at all if the world stopped spinning?
We could stop pretending
Can you ever meet someone new?
If it’s always the same kind of Deja Vu
You used to think that you were funny having nothing to do
You got that promotion now the jokes on you
You spend all your money on a beautiful girl
When the world is your oyster, everything looks like a pearl
But who am I to tell you who you’re supposed to be?
A carbon copy of a memory
Make no mistake it ain’t no mystery
People always turn out just like they’re supposed to be
Would anybody notice at all if the world stopped spinning?
We could stop pretending
Can you ever meet someone new?
If it’s always the same kind of Deja Vu
If you don’t know what you’re all about
Take some time and figure it out
You’re the one and only you
No sense in being somebody new

Open my eyes to a beautiful bedroom
Somewhat familiar, somewhere only we knew of
Pull back the curtains and light a cigarette
Sunbeams dance across your hair
Time just stood still there, As I stood still
I hear the wind like the whisper that calls my name
I feel the earth move with every step I take
All the birds chirp like my mother used to sing
Everything is just right
Can’t find the right words to say
Like a crime where no ones to blame
Like a song you can’t remember the name
Can’t find the right words
Closed inside our minds where memories become a dream
Stolen memories frozen in time, no space for the in-between
A kiss on the couch in seventh grade, your daughter on her wedding daty
You will remember it, when I remember
I hear the wind like the whisper that calls my name
I feel the earth move with every step I take
All the birds chirp like my mother used to sing
Everything is just right
Can’t find the right words to say
Like a crime where no ones to blame
Like a song you can’t remember the name
Can’t find the right words to say
Can't find the right ways to show
The things we already know
Like I'm dreaming even when I'm awake
Can't find the right words to say

How did you raise such a lazy generation?
Buy another shelf for trophies of participation
Can’t afford a home all that avocado toast
And student loan fees when there’s no need for education
Don’t let ‘em judge you for your favorite records
Who gives a fuck what the people say
Ain’t no such thing as a guilty pleasure
Just love what you love and you’ll never get enough
I don’t want to try, lay it all on the line
Just to find out I done wasted my time
They don’t want to wait
It’s the fate of a 90’s kid, depressed and don’t give a shit,
Workin’ another shift at the 9 to 5
I remember my guidance counselor told me
Love what you do and you never work a day in your life
So you say we should have a baby on the way by now
Well, I just can’t see how, in this economy now
Livin’ up on easy street I may as well get myself an arts degree
Yeah, who was I kidding, guess nobody told me
I might not retire if it pays by the hour
ge makes us bitter, turns relationships sour
Wouldn’t listen if you told ‘em, busy living for the moment
It’s the fate of a 90’s kid, depressed and don’t give a shit,
Workin’ another shift at the 9 to 5
It’s the fate of a 90’s kid, depressed and don’t give a shit,
Workin’ another shift at the 9 to 5
I remember my guidance counselor told me
‘Love what you do and you never work a day in your life’
Don't let 'em judge you for your favourite records
Who gives a fuck
Don't let 'em judge you for your favourite records
Love what you love
Love what you love

Wrote in my yearbook, “stay cool never change”
We've rearranged ourselves a few times since then
Mostly for the best
Used to skip classes, smoke up in your room
Caught in the gloom, spend all our time fitting in
trying to pretend we don’t care
Wouldn’t it be cool, if we didn’t have to act so tough?
If we can’t be good, let’s try to be good enough
High school reunions, the years as they pass by
It’s funny how time flies, the jocks all wear sweater vests now
And the smart kids are depressed
You’ve got a family; I’ve got a life of my own
Never picked up the phone to say
“How’s it going man?” You too were probably wondering
Wouldn’t it be cool, if we didn’t have to act so tough?
If we can’t be good, let’s try to be good enough
Good enough, Good enough
Read through my yearbook, we stayed cool through the changes
And dealt with the strangeness of finding myself
Just to lose it all over again
Wouldn't it be cool? Wouldn't it be cool? Wouldn't it be good?
Wouldn’t it be cool, if we didn’t have to act so tough?
If we can’t be good, let’s try to be good enough
Good enough, Good enough
Let’s try to be good enough, good enough x2

Doo do do do doo doo
The boss don’t provide the right compensation, to keep my family fed
So get your two hotdogs from the subways station, don’t adjust for inflation
They like to keep you in debt
I only got one egg it takes two to make French toast
I only got one egg it takes two to make French toast
Opened up the refrigerator... and that’s all she wrote
I go to butter some bread but all they gots that Margerine
I go to butter some bread but all they gots that Margerine
There are better days I have seen
The government knows but they ain’t tellin’, how to keep a roof over your head
So grab a lotto max from 7-11, you might be livin’ in heaven kid
Or they might keep you in debt
I got some bills to pay, spent all my money on the rent
I got some bills to pay, spent all my money on the rent
I don’t smoke but I sure could use a cigarette
The boss don’t provide the right compensation, to keep my family fed
So get your two hotdogs from the subways station, don’t adjust for inflation
They like to keep you in debt
Keep us in debt, Keep us debt
Doo do do do doo doo

Kill ‘em with kindness, oh isn’t it funny how it goes?
Catch more flies with honey, at least that’s what I’m told
I’ve got nothing left to lose, everything I love is free
Bought you a new pair of shoes so you can walk all over me
Throat is aching from swallowing my pride
If I’ve got nothing to fear then I got nothing to hide
Oh don’t hide away
Kill ‘em with kindness, oh isn’t it funny how it goes?
Catch more flies with honey, at least that’s what I’m told
Isn’t it funny? Gotta C-c-c-catch ‘em with honey
People say I’m hard to read but baby I’m an open book
Not the sharpest tool in the shed but not as stupid as I look
I’ll forget, not so easy to forgive,
When I feel like I’m drowning in the water under bridges
Who are we kidding?
Kill ‘em with kindness, oh isn’t it funny how it goes?
Catch more flies with honey, at least that’s what I’m told
Isn’t it funny? Gotta C-c-c-catch ‘em with honey
Isn’t it funny? Gotta C-c-c-catch ‘em with honey
We’ve all got holes in our socks
Graduated from the school of hard knocks
Everybody's got a bag of rocks holding them down
Late nights and pillow talks,
One-night stands and rainy walks
Everybody’s got a bag of rocks holding them down
Most kids get the chicken pox
I wish I was friends with Courtney Cox
Everybody’s got a bag of rocks holding them down
Kill ‘em with kindness, oh isn’t it funny how it goes?
Catch more flies with honey, at least that’s what I’m told
Isn’t it funny? Catch ‘em with honey
Isn’t it funny? C-c-catch ‘em, catch em with honey
Isn’t it funny? Catch ‘em with honey
Isn’t it funny? C-c-catch ‘em, catch em with honey

Waiting for the day
That my dreams will take me away
Sitting through the storm
As we ask ourselves what all this was for
I can’t keep my thoughts buried deep inside my mind
When everything is lost there’s nothing to find
I can’t keep my thoughts safe within the lines
Outlines trace my fear of memories left behind
Aaahhhh, Aaahhhh,
I am waiting, waiting
Waiting for the change
So I can learn to make all the right mistakes
Sifting through the sand
Seeking diamonds lost among the land
I can’t keep my thoughts buried deep inside my mind
When everything is lost there’s nothing to find
I can’t keep my thoughts safe within the lines
Outlines trace my fear of memories left behind
Aaahhhh, Aaahhhh,
I am waiting, waiting
Time waits for no one
Trapped in it’s void
Time waits for no one
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just paranoid?
Aaahhhh, Aaahhhh,
I am waiting, waiting
