I need to try somethin’ new Somethin’ revolutionary that’s going to pull me through ‘Cause I, I’m a used record store Full of memories that no one wants to hear anymore
I wonder why I run so fast No matter where I start I’m gonna finish last And why would I ever stop to pray To a God that’s always only six feet away?
‘Cause with the summer I confide The thoughts of what it means to be alive Like a Polaroid developin’ with the light What do you know about me Other than what you can see? Behind this broken smile lies an antique heart
Why do I try so much? I’m like a doctor who has lost his touch And why do I call this my best? ‘Cause I’m the kid in class who cheats on all the tests
‘Cause with the summer I confide Thoughts of what it means to be alive Like a Polaroid developin’ with the light What do you know about me Other than what you can see? Behind this broken smile lies an antique heart
And I, I wonder if I’ll ever know How to play this thing or how this song should go And I wonder what I’m tryin’ for I’ve gotta find myself behind this wall of metaphors
‘Cause with the summer I confide Thoughts of what it means to be alive Like a Polaroid developin’ with the light What do you know about me Other than what you can see? Behind this broken smile lies an antique heart An antique heart Behind this smile is an antique heart
