Embracing Facts Lyrics
How the hell could I have been so dumb?
As an outspoken man with well-sharpened tongue
I sort of thought I'd start to change with age
But I just stayed the same
Call me crazy, but today I'm embracing facts
A past full of mistakes which I can't take back
It's a crying shame that I'd drag this out just to pass the blame
How the hell could I have been so weak?
A plush backseat flips my switch on to speak and says
"Your common sense will never pay the rent"
Harsh words from a path that I seldom choose
I'll scream at a wall as you sing the blues
To the minor chords that you and I simply can't afford
As an outspoken man with well-sharpened tongue
I sort of thought I'd start to change with age
But I just stayed the same
Call me crazy, but today I'm embracing facts
A past full of mistakes which I can't take back
It's a crying shame that I'd drag this out just to pass the blame
A plush backseat flips my switch on to speak and says
"Your common sense will never pay the rent"
Harsh words from a path that I seldom choose
I'll scream at a wall as you sing the blues
To the minor chords that you and I simply can't afford

This is a really solid first song.
I think it's about how we can't rely on our own wisdom. It's like he's coming to terms with how selfish he's been. And he can't afford to play "minor chords" because it doesn't do any good to sulk for yourself/throw a pity party. You gotta get back up and try again.
That's how I hear it, anyway.
