As I keep growing old
I can see the value of the words
that they once sang to me,
But only now it doesn't seem that
the lyrics mean that much to them anymore,
Is there anyway I could ever have known?

I know it's foolish to worship what my heroes say,
Then I'm a fool,
I only have myself to blame,
I feel so stupid about all the time I spent,
Trying to figure out exactly what they meant

I understand they can't spend their whole lives
rehashing old feelings from ten years ago,
Not valid anymore,
But to me those lyrics add meaning to my little life,
I think that I'm an overemotional bore
