This Side of the Genesee

So it appears that our real life begins here
And now we all see what you're made of
I miss you I swear and I know you don't care
So step back as I become the better man

You hold me down, and every day you're telling me
That I could be anything at all
So let's keep wasting our lives to grow into men we despise
When we could be anything at all, anything at all

Now here we are and denials raised the bar
But I know exactly who I am
I miss you I swear and I know you don't care
So step back, I'll be the better man

You hold me down, but every day you're telling me
That I could be anything at all
So let's keep wasting our lives to grow into men we despise
When we could be anything at all

I'd like to raise a glass to all you've left behind
Tell me, what did you expect to find
I'd like to raise a glass to all we've left behind and then run home
