Rerun
I am, oh, I
so tired. I______
It’s not that I’m I
missing out on I_____
my sleep, but I’m just I
feeling older, battling I____
against all of those damned I
neon signs which light up in I_________
front of me every time I attempt to do I
a simple job that is clearly beyond me. I_______
Problem is, I’m not ready to get old, there are I
so many things to achieve before I get there; I______
but the faster I work in an effort to outrun the future, I
the more I fall behind, sweating and panting in a fury. I_________
O let me wrestle back those lazy days; the wasted years of youth I
when my life seemed endless - and the only thing that worried me I______
was trips to the dentist and what new stuff my next wage would buy me I
never accepting for a minute that today was never meant to be forever. I______
I could never understand the ‘live fast, die young’ mentality, choosing instead to I
think longer term, but if I had my time again, I’d be James Dean in a heartbeat. I
