|
I'm stuck in this city just like old man Bukowski |
|
And I'm watching the world move on without me. |
|
I'm still fifteen in the city of shame |
|
And society's chains are still calling my name. |
|
So can you blame me for finding peace on the road |
|
When my whole life I was afraid to come home? |
|
I was forced to be a pirate, so I break things and make noise, |
|
Do what it takes to forever be a lost boy. |
|
Give me the moment I've been searching for. |
|
Give me the story that I love. |
|
Give me the ending that pulls every nerve. |
|
Make me the kid that conquers the world. |
|
I never thought I'd make it past twenty-four. |
|
"Act your age." I don't know what that means anymore. |
|
This is still my movie, but before the credits roll, |
|
I want that epic ending that leaves you speechless when the curtains close. |
|
Be the boys who jumped the fence. |
|
Be the ones smiling when driving off the cliff. |
|
Be the last kind standing, honored to face his death. |
|
I want to be the moment you won't forget. |
|
Live like I'm stuck in a movie screen. |
|
Smile like my first kiss from a girl. |
|
I'm an old man too young to neglect these scenes, |
|
So make me the boy that conquers the world. |
