lyrics

Most likely to succeed, 1996.
Thumbing through my yearbook
My friends back then were mostly dicks
Been a lotta twists - been a lotta turns
Bridges burned as the decades churned
Zigging and zagging from our early 20’s
Telling stories of former glories
Hanging on stories, the same old stories
How’d we become so goddamn boring?

Na-na-na-na-na

Nursing a beer, I ask you to doctor me up
Feigning how feeble I was, too weak to lift my cup
I once thought content was the dirtiest word in the book
Now it’s all I seek, it’s the worm on my hook
I need a new mantra, some kind of coda
A master to guide me, my very own Yoda
Some universal truth, the advice you bestow
The odds of me taking, are woefully low

I’m trying to be more selfless and carefree
Nothing revolves ‘round me
I’m trying to be more selfless and carefree
I’m nobody

Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
I’m nobody
