Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? Lyrics

A thought burst in my head
And i need to tell you
It's news that i for thought
Was it just a dream
That happened long ago?
I think i just forgot
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting

I shuffle through my mind
To see if i can find
The words i left behind
Was it just a dream
That happened long ago?
Oh well...
Never mind.

"Catcher in the Rye" is the best book EVER. If you haven't read it, I recommend you do so. It'll help you understand this song better.

My dad said I should read it and so I did and it was awesome but I just felt kinda of like a empty jar after reading it so sometimes I just sit there and think what happened to him after that

the catcher in the rye and the outsiders are the best books ever

In a guitar magazine last year, Billy said "Catcher in the Rye" was his favorite book because he likes how Holden Caulfield was a non-conformist and even thinks of him as kind of a proto-punk. I've always thought the song was about Billy comparing himself to Caulfield, something I think everyone who reads that book does.
