Me Especially

[Verse 1]

As far as I could tell

I was the center of the universe

The favorite stepchild of our Mother Earth

And every camera's dream

'Til something broke the spell

And the cold hard facts I was hiding from

Were at the mercy of a pendulum

And I was smashed to smithereens

[Chorus]

Let's try and have some fun tonight

Let's act like we got nowhere else to be

Like we're just as young as we used to be

That goes for everyone but me especially

[Verse 2]

Documents and names

An eye twitch away from what they really mean

In the shadow world of the in-betweens

That surrounds us on all sides

You can look the other way

In fact, that's all I did until recently

'Til the expiration of my amnesty

Left me nowhere else to hide

[Chorus]

Let's try and have some fun tonight

Let's act like it could always be this good

Like we're just as young as we used to be

That goes for everyone but me especially

[Bridge]

A flatlining learning curve

On the last leg with low reserves

A desperado that lost his nerve

Trying now to serve

Teach me how to serve

[Chorus]

'Cause we're not as young as we used to be

And it goes for everyone but me especially

[Outro]

Why am I still the youngest guy my age?

('Cause we're not as young as we used to be)

Why am I still reading the same page?

I know it's hard for everyone but me especially

(And it goes for everyone but me especially)

And you especially
