First dates are such a waste of time
I always seem to
Find something that would bother me about him
In a month or two.
And even during decent ones
There’s still other things I’d rather do
Oh love what a stupid game I always seem to lose.
Can’t stand big parties, same conversation 50 times.
Asking me how I am as I regurgitate my tired lines.
“Busy but all is well” as I feign a convincing smile.
Small talk and social graces can go to hell and slowly die.
Well I apologize for being brash I’m just calling things like I see
The older I get the more I find life’s too short for mediocrity,
Life's too short for mediocrity.
Most days I can’t make much sense of what happens behind my eyes,
Though I pay someone to sit for an hour to hear me try.
I’m anxious about everything, I wish I could tell you why.
But, somehow I have friends like you who never leave my side.
When I admit that I’ve been struggling you smile and say “me too.”
I don’t know much about anything, but I know I matter to you.
Well I apologize for being brash I’m just calling things like I see
The older I get the more I find life’s too short for mediocrity,
Life's too short for mediocrity.
