A Kid That Used to Look Like Me

Lyrics

How come my life is of vital importance For people that I never see? Seems like years can go by and all they remember Is what I did not grow up to be Just like I have been sick with incurable cancer And everyone else can come up with the answer That the doctor just failed to see While they've gotten older, I've been kept in their folders As a kid that used to look like me She's just a girl with a face fronting postcards And a heart that's never at ease She might look twenty one, but she won't do for long So she acts as if she's seventeen And there is one topic you just won't let go of My girlfriends location, her plans for tomorrow How come she's not here with you? The Atlantic Sea may be a killer of dreams If what you want is a swimming pool Now, what is a promise if she's not there to keep it? What if you crash, you're not wearing a seat belt You'd surely get hurt if she ran And that's the price you pay for staying the same You distrust what you don't understand
