[00:19.74] i have been living impatiently
[00:21.95] yes i'd become a passionate drinker
[00:24.71] waiting has not been my cup of tea
[00:26.91] so I have thrown it all away
[00:29.59] everyone looks at me skeptically
[00:31.59] as though this were not my true demeanor
[00:34.24] but they know not of what I am capable
[00:36.56] therefore they have nothing to say
[00:38.61] i run to the woods and look around
[00:41.68] all I see is my reflection
[00:43.73] so I howl like I am a wolf
[00:46.08] and take my clothes off
[00:48.68] the caribou cheer, the squirrels rejoice,
[00:50.92] the birds and fish change direction
[00:53.48] to catch a glimpse of all this joy
[00:55.85] that is much deeper than just for the weekend
[01:08.55] there are suckers who give up too easily
[01:10.96] and many of them are my homies
[01:13.45] they clean up their rooms and they read their books
[01:15.66] and they always have something to say
[01:18.08] there was a time when I ran to them
[01:20.58] always in search of approval
[01:22.81] now I look at them all with a broken heart
[01:25.37] wishing their sadness away
[01:27.23] i run to the woods and look around
[01:29.63] all I see is my reflection
[01:32.19] so I howl like I am a wolf
[01:34.36] and take my clothes off
[01:36.93] the caribou cheer, the squirrels rejoice,
[01:39.13] the birds and fish change direction.
[01:41.69] to catch a glimpse of all this joy
[01:44.04] that is much deeper than just for the weekend
[01:49.87] and soon I will sit beside myself
[01:56.99] for the wind that fills my sails
[02:01.69] is the same one that blew me over
[02:06.62] when optimism fails I reach for something more
[02:16.01] the wind that fills my sails
[02:20.43] is the same one that blew me over
[02:25.49] when optimism fails I reach for something more
[02:37.46] and soon I will sit beside myself, yeah
[03:02.84] there are boys and girls living in secrecy
[03:05.31] pushed to the ground by their elders
[03:07.62] forbidden to run and commanded to hide
[03:09.99] and to watch every word that they say
[03:12.55] i was the same until recently
[03:14.81] when I discovered the illusion
[03:17.17] and we're only as free as we let ourselves be
[03:19.58] and its time we shut up and play
[03:21.58] i run to the woods and look around
[03:23.83] all I see is my reflection
[03:26.43] so I howl like I am a wolf
[03:28.73] and take my clothes off
[03:31.09] the caribou cheer, the squirrels rejoice,
[03:33.26] the birds and fish change direction
[03:35.76] to catch a glimpse of all this joy
[03:38.17] that is much deeper than just for the weekend
[03:45.14] deeper than just for the weekend...
