SONG LYRICS
Words & Music by Stefan Marks
I used to wanna compete. I thought that I could complete all the goals and dreams that I’d set in stone. I took a look around. I put my feet on the ground. I got a running start and then I jumped off a cliff.
Can I fly? I don’t know, there’s only one way to see. I’ve gotta try… And as I’m fallin’ I’ve got plenty to see.
You’re so lucky you were born here and not over there. Can you imagine bein’ there and never bein’ over here?
I wanna be famous. I wanna be rich. I wanna be loved and idolized. I wanna sleep with a 1000 girls… tonight. I wanna eat food til I’m bout to pop. Drink so much that I just can’t stop. I wanna sleep with a 1000 girls… tonight. I’m not growin’ up, I’m growin’ old. And I never said that I could handle never getting what I want.
Feels like I just sat down. Been on my feet all day. And you want me to talk but I got nothin’ to say. And so you’re out the door and that’s a rotten shame. They all start a little different but they end the same.
I think back. I don’t know. But I seem to recall that I never said I wasn’t what I am and so I have to wonder why you’d think I’d change. Are you the miracle girl? A lot have tried before and every one has failed.
I wanna start over. I’m gettin’ too old. Livin’ my life all alone. Wanna pair up with a younger girl… tonight! Mid life crisis – kiss my ass! Drivin’ my sports car way too fast. The future will become the past… tonight! I’m not growin’ up, I’m growin’ old. And I never said that I could handle never getting what I want.
I’ve got too many choices. I hear too many voices. Everybody’s got advice on how to live my life. I’ve got too many lists. And too many missed opportunities that could have made me rich.
Am I mad? Do I care? Am I bitter? Do I swear? Or do I smile and try to make the best of every day that’s left?
But there’s too many yes-sirs. And too many jesters. If you wanna be the King, you gotta kill the Queen.
I wanna be famous. I wanna be rich. I wanna be loved and idolized. I wanna sleep with a 1000 girls… tonight. I wanna eat food til I’m bout to pop. Drink so much that I just can’t stop. I wanna sleep with a 1000 girls… tonight. I’m not growin’ up, I’m growin’ old. Everybody wants the same things that you do. No, I never said that I could handle never getting what I want.

Can you see me in the rain? Head upturned to hide the pain. Water rushin’ down my face. I might as well be laughin’.
I feel too old to feel this way. My friends all say to stay away. And although I know I’ll pay. I just can’t seem to listen.
Cause I trusted you with all my mind. I gave you what I felt inside. I treated you the best I could. And the best you gave me back was not that good.
You’re not a bad girl. But you could be a lot better. You’re not a bad girl. But you could be a lot better.
I can’t see us being friends. Cause of the way you made it end. You pulled me back then ran away. When were you gonna tell me?
I can’t believe you can date so quick. Thought of you with what’s his name makes me sick. But I guess I should learned that’s how you get yer kicks. It’s gonna come back to bite ya.
Cause you’re standin’ on the deck of a sinkin’ ship and you’ve been lookin’ to jump since the beginning of the trip. Instead of always lookin’ for another guy you might wanna try to take a look inside.
You’re not a bad girl. But you could be a lot better. You’re not a bad girl. But you could be a lot better.
There’s nothing you could ever say to me that would ever make me wanna say anything. The trust is gone & the past is too…And the only thing left to go is you…
So get out my mind…And please just stay away…
Can you see me in the rain? Thoughts are racin’ thru my brain. Memories slowly wash away. It’s as if I never met ya.

Mr. Neighbor bought himself a hot tub, so i built myself a pool. He sent his children for a public education so I sent my kids to private school. He leased a Porsche, so I bought a Maserati so I wouldn’t seem the fool. The game gets started once your life begins. He who dies with the most toys wins.
Mr. Neighbor left his wife and children for a girl of 25. I saw his lady and she got my juices flowin’ so I traded in my older wife for a stripper who could almost be my daughter. Never felt better in my life. Once the game gets started, go commit your sins. He who dies with the most toys wins.
I drink Cristal and snort cocaine ’cause I look at my life and it’s so mundane. And I need mine to be a little insane. I’m so unsatisfied. I watch you buy your diamonds and furs and I need to do better. Baby, that’s my curse. In the song of debt I’ll sing another verse to be one up on you.
Mr. Neighbor made a reconciliation with the life he left behind. It’s so pathetic when a man admits his weakness to the ones he treated so unkind. Who needs a love when you’ve got more than the others? I’m alone, but I don’t mind. ‘Cause when the game’s all over and the Devil grins…He who dies with the most toys wins.

I’m too young to have regrets but there are a couple of things I want to forget. I can see the stars at night and I will drink you out of sight.
I’m too young to be feeling so old. I’m too old to have acted so dumb.
Dumb dee dee Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am Dumb. Dumb dee dee Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am Dumb.
There’s no reason to pretend that it’ll all work out in the end. I don’t mean to burst your bubble, it’s just that I’ve seen a lot of trouble.
I’m too young to be feeling so old. I’m too old to have acted so dumb.
Dumb dee dee Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am Dumb. Dumb dee dee Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am Dumb.
There is no one to blame. Even though I am clinically insane.
There’s nothing that I can do that’ll ever explain my point of view. Won’t you do me this one favor, walk away and be gone forever.
I’m too young to be feeling so old. I’m too old to have acted so dumb.
Dumb dee dee Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am Dumb. Dumb dee dee Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am the Dumb Guy. I am Dumb.

Don’t kick me I’m already down. Can you just give up? I am lying here bleeding. Just know what I’m needing can’t be put in words. And it hurts that you still don’t know how to console me.
I’m up, but I keep falling down. The path was once clear, now I see walls before me. You used to adore me. I couldn’t do wrong. Guess I couldn’t live up to your fairy tale ending.
Faith built on promises. Tell me what’s wrong with this? I shouldn’t have to explain. Do you recognize me when you lie beside me? ‘Cause all things familiar are suddenly strange. And you’ve changed. Yes you’ve changed.
So kick me, I’m already down. Give your best shot. One more blow will not scar me. If you wanted to harm me, you take home the prize. When I look in your eyes, are you there? Do you see me?
What do you do when the battle is through? Do you turn in your gun and go home? And if you’re to blame, are you ever the same? Are you better off out on your own? I’m drowning, I’m sinking, I’m numb, but I’m thinking ’bout everything that we’ve been through. I’d do it again and again and again if it meant I could do it with you.
Don’t kick me, I’m already down. Just say you love me. Nothing else matters.

Oh my god take a look at your girlfriend. Knee-high boots & cut-off shorts. If tonight were steal-a-date night, I might take the risk of having a fight.
I can’t stop looking, hate being a man. Wanna look away from her but I can’t. Is she your sister, is she a friend? Can’t stop my libido from making me crazy.
OMG TTYL LMAO XOXO
OMG take a look at your girlfriend. The way she moves really freaks me out. Nothing’s wrong, she’s perfectly fine. It’s her body that’s blowing my mind.
OMG-TTYL. I think I’m going straight to hell.. The one good thing about purgatory. You don’t get in without a helluva story.
OMG TTYL LMAO XOXO
OMG RU JK’ING? SHE IS WAY TG2BT. CC ME THAT JPEG. C4N LHSX.
To the guy who’s in love with a beautiful girl. You got the hardest day job in the world. Going out with her every day and hearing all the crap people like me say.
OMG TTYL LMAO XOXO

La, la…La, la…La, la…
Can you hold on to me and still be who you used to be? Or will it change you? When you look at me do you see me as I see me or do you see me as I see you?
Look at you lookin at me lookin’ at you wonderin’ what the hell do I have to do to make you and me… we…
Cause what I see… In your eyes…Is that our hellos… are becoming goodbyes…
La, la…La, la…La, la…
And although I know that I loved you… Maybe I never did…And although I know that you loved me… Maybe you never did…
I wanna go where I can be the man I’ve always dreamed I’d be…
Don’t change, cause I don’t wanna change you. Please change, cause then I’ll really love you. Can’t change, cause then I will become you. I want you to be happy but I want me to be happy too.
Can’t see a way that we can fix this. One kiss just becomes another kiss. That kiss turns into the final kiss. Go away please stay we gotta find another way…
When you… See me… Do you… See us…See me the way that I see you…Can you… Will you… Stay… with me? Can u say that you’ll stay…If it gets tough… will you stay on or will you look to run…will you stay on? Or will you run away?
I wanna go where I can be the man I’ve always dreamed I’d be…
Can’t you be? Why not be? Could you be? Won’t you be? Will you be a friend to me? I don’t know why that you say that you’re here for me when you’re nowhere to be found.
Don’t change, cause I don’t wanna change you. Please change, cause then I’ll really love you. Can’t change, cause then I will become you. I want you to be happy but I want me to be happy too.
Can’t see a way that we can fix this. One kiss just becomes another kiss.That kiss turns into the final kiss. Go away please stay we gotta find another way…
(AT SAME TIME AS 4 LINES ABOVE.)
I wanna go where I can be the man I’ve always dreamed I’d be…
Can’t you be? Why not be? Could you be? Won’t you be? Will you be a friend to me? I don’t know why that you say that you’re here for me when you’re nowhere to be found…
And although I know that I loved you
(And I see…)
Maybe I never did…
(In your eyes…)
Oh and…I am sorry for all of the fighting…
(And I see…)
And I am sorry for all of the crying…
(In your eyes…)
And I am sorry for all the time wasted…
(And I see…)
But I will finally let you go…
let you go…
(How can I? Why should I? How can you?
Why would you? How can we? Why can’t we?
How could you let me go…)
