Lyrics

I was walking down the street today When I stepped off a curb into ten years ago It was ten years past, and I saw myself at the age of twenty-one Looking right back at the man I've now become I scared myself, I was horrified But elated, too Like I'd escaped from ten year's shell I'd never known was fulla Hell Instantly, I realized This had happened to me once before When I was the younger guy And now I'd have to live it though once more Yes, I seduced myself I took me home I whispered, only I could make the younger guy Feel less alone I was playing with myself We were playing house Pretending we could hide inside the past and future To avoid our present self I loved myself so much that day I thought that I could trick my fate I took the fall for ten year's time Thinking that it'd be a pleasant wait Yes, down on Destiny Street today I found out twice That playing for the past or future Is playing with a fool's pair of dice
