First To Know, Last To Understand

If only I could catch up to the person that I thought I would be Getting used to the bad news Cause by now Thought I'd buy my mom a house or my dad a spaceship So we could float around See it from this view Lift my head from the screen And fix my posture too Still can't tie these shoes Ran a mile to fall down Before the finish First to know but last to understand Open your eyes, your eyes Wish I had a theme Something to keep me up at night Sure I got a life I love But it don't feel like mine Words I try dissolve Before my tongue can reach the line Words I can't define Wishing that the wheels of change would move a little quicker Don't mix up your faith with mine In Philly Khazi took a train downtown to hear me singing off key Thought I'd be more than this Crawling to the moon To plant our flag in the scene But I've been failing you Scared to leave my room In the prime of my life And feeling finished First to know, but last to understand Open your eyes, your eyes Wish I had a theme Something to keep me up at night Sure I got a life I love But it don't feel like mine Words I try dissolve Before my tongue can reach the line Words that I don't Hear me out Don't hang your head down Hear me out Don't hang your head down
