lyrics

I would trade an hour for a minute
when time seemed infinite
a week for a day just wasted away
lazing in the sun with my friends on the pavement
video games at home when the phone didn’t ring

I would trade a year for a month
of excruciating boredom
wandering the streets with heavy metal on my walkman
daydreaming about how when I grew up
I’d be a rock star living on my rock guitar

waiting for trains
and
sleeping on the ground
and
wrapped up in blankets
in the passenger seat

fistfights and breakups
and
fractures and bad cuts
and
twisted metal and memorial service

sweaty come-ups
and
sticky feet dancing
stutter stutter talk talk
to that pretty girl from school school

unrequited yearning blood
pumping bruised right under the skin
unrequited yearning blood

I would trade a hundred evenings
standing at the back
of some stale club with other men my age all
balding and bearded and dressed in black all
blinking to the beat of a band exploding

for an adolescent evening in the town arts centre
ringing in my ear from a broken speaker
hurling my body at my churning friends
and a girl wrote her number on my naked arm
and my older brother grinned at my clumsy charm

waiting for trains
and
sleeping on the ground
and
wrapped up in blankets
in the passenger seat

fistfights and breakups
and
fractures and bad cuts
and
twisted metal and memorial service

sweaty come-ups
and
sticky feet dancing
stutter stutter talk talk
to that pretty girl from school school

I’m glad I was there
I’m happy that was then
I’m glad I was there
I’m happy that was then
