about

I don't exactly remember the story to this song. I wish I did. I'm sure it was pretty good. Anyways, yeah here you go.

lyrics

Today in school my teacher asked, for a metaphor for life.
And besides the horribly depressing and ironic ideas,
I actually found some meaning.
Err... Well...
To be completely honest I didn't do that homework assignment.
But that got me thinking about, all the things I'm missing out on.
And all the things I didn't do, because of you.

And I'm not talking 'bout no girl or a friend. (Yes I am.)
Or some random guy who says he'll be there 'til the end.
Thats just creepy.
I'm talking about the prying eyes of all the people that you count on.
And all the people that you don't.
They're picking apart all the thoughts that you think on and,
Talking about you when you don't even know.

And I'm wondering why I'm losing my breath,
In the hallway on the second level.
It's like I'm unfit to breath.

And I'm wondering why I'm acting like a different person
when I see an unfamiliar face.

Come to think of it, I don't even know my person
and my face seems out of place.

Today I wrote a metaphor for life.
And if it was, in a song, it'd surely be a hit.
Life is ....
