Ever since I was a child

You always said that I

Should understand the rules

You take some and give less

Sit high above the rest

Don't you?

As I ask a simple question

Cuts me off with his reply

He's been practicing for decades

Now he thinks I have the time

He flows in and out of riddles

Looking me straight in the eye

But it seems like something's missing

From the days when he was more my size

Ten years older and I've finally found my pride

This old man comes rolling home to die

Old feelings make it hard to decide

Just what it means to me

Everything exists 'tween black and white

You can twist and distort the most blatant of lies

Or just offer up solutions practiced only in your mind

I lost half my life to wisdom, so forgive me

If I come off sounding bitter

If my words push you away

If I seem surprised to see you

Lying here in front of me

Just consider what you're asking

And give me a little time

I'm still having trouble breathing

'Cause up to now I- I've never seen you cry

Ten years older and I've finally found my pride

This old man comes rolling home to die

Old feelings make it hard to decide

Just what it means to me

Just what it means to me

Ten years older and I've finally found my pride

This old man comes rolling home to die

Old feelings make it hard to decide

Just what it means to me

Just what it means to me

Just what it means to me

Just what it means to me
