Speechwriters Llc - Midlife Crisis lyrics

rate me

I can still remember, when I was a boy, how I wanted to be a man

Well I’d hold on tight to the hem of mother’s dress, but I wouldn’t hold mother’s hand

Yes when I was a boy how I wanted to be a man

Just eighteen, oh my life went by so fast and I’m already in the wrong tense

I have logs and charts of the world’s remarks, but at my own expense

Just eighteen and already in the wrong tense

But then we walked across the shadows, and our heads were hanging high

And we went boldly to set memories aside

So give me strings, or give me a heart, and you know that I’ll choose the first

Cause I can play the chords I say but hearts can’t be rehearsed

So give me strings, the heart is just a curse

And then we walked across the shadows, and our throats they ached with pride

And we went boldly to set memories aside

I can still remember, when I was a boy, how I wanted to be a man

Well I’d hold on tight to the hem of mother’s dress, but I wouldn’t hold mother’s hand

Yes when I was a boy how I wanted to be a man
