Lyrics

Mmm, oh yeah, oh
While I’ve got this guise of youth and beauty
No one asks or seems to know
I fear I won’t find one to love and hold me
And I’ll be left here on my own
But when the jig is up and age gets to me
They’ll know it never was a choice
They’ll scan me up and down with a scornful pity
And wonder why it all went wrong
So, as we grow up, and that fork gets closer
Between the bleak and blissful roads, oh yeah
They’ll look around as they all start to whisper
I think he missed the turn for sure
So, I’m self-conscious as we hurl forward
One day, my friend, our eyes will break
To glance down at the once shared road below us
As it splits beneath our feet
Ahh yeah, ahh oh
So, as they ride off with lovers and children
Oh, I’ll be watching from afar
And I’ll be wondering if it’d all be different
If I were white or straight, oh woah
And if I find no peace in love and romance
I hope I’ll find it elsewhere y’all
While I try not to wish that it would all be different
That I’d be anybody else but me at all
That I’d have anybody here with me at all
