Standing outside in the parking lot There’s not a lot to take in Just strip mall traffic Back and forth into places you’ve already been There’s a winter advisory And I really should get back inside But I know I won’t miss this when I'm gone So I’ll stand here and desperately try To fit into the shoes I’ve been wearing now Take me And shake me awake Throw me into it I’ll cease all my movements My marching in place ’Cause it’s just artistry starving Apartments and parking fees Faraway commonplace opulence taunting me How do you learn to admit that you really know nothing? Twenty-something Sitting outside on the front porch Swimming in New England stars The yard that I run in The house I grew up in The place where we buried the dog And roads that repeat like a record Have made me so tired that I Found that leaving them isn’t so easy Even when I'm so sick of the driving I know I’ve grown into a new person But I'm just as scared As the future’s uncertain Take me And shake me awake Throw me into it I’ll cease all my movements My marching in place ’Cause it’s just artistry starving Apartments and parking fees Faraway commonplace opulence taunting me How do you learn to admit that you really know nothing?
