5. IN YOUR THIRTIES

LYRICS

I walked so far to get away from all the noise

I packed my car full to the brim with all my toys

And finally, nothing but the rush of wind

The story in the sky

I closed my eyes

But all I could see was Wile E. Coyote jumping off a cliff

And all I could hear were the greatest hits from 1996

And all I could think was

How hard it is to start a friendship in your thirties

And how

We’re always working for money so we can buy time

But even when we get the stuff

Don’t you know it’s never enough

Never enough never enough

To make it last

I had to leave just to return another day

I tried believing I’d return a different way

And suddenly

I could see a woman I had never seen before

She closed the door

Then alI I could see was a 7th grader standing in the mirror

And all I could hear was the sound of chariots getting near

And all I could think was

How hard it is to start a friendship in your thirties

And how

We’re always working for money so we can buy time

But even when we get the stuff

Don’t you know it’s never enough

It’s never enough, never enough

Never enough, never enough

Never enough, never enough

To change the past

It’s alright, it’s alright

Don’t stop now

It’s alright

It’s alright, it’s alright

Don’t stop now

It’s alright

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
