so here we are
today for another year
you push me 'round
i'm hurt, but you'll see i'm ok
it's typical
new kid don't know the rules
it's the food chain
you'll see who's boss in this school

it's freezing though it's warm
as i recall
and no it's not by punishment
that i learn

so say goodbye
as you see me now
i'm not hopeless, i'm not dumb
words i won't take
as they slowly pass me by
yeah, i'm leaving

so here we are
grown up and in plain view
it's years ago we squared off fighting at school
for me now
the pursuit of a dream
for you now, mortgage and baby screaming
