We are given life, an upbringing, a job, and a path we all must follow.
We sit at desks and we listen to our teacher talk and we take notes we'll
need for later and we watch the clock slowly tick away the day.
We sit in buses or cars and we listen to our music through headphones
and we try to forget.
We grow up and we move on and we forget about those people we swore
we'd love forever.
We sit at desks and we listen to one person talk and we scribble down
words without meaning and we watch the clock slowly tick away the day.
We sit in buses or cars and we think about nothing that matters and we try
to forget.
We grow up and we move on and we forget about those people with
whom we shared long nights and pots of coffee with.
We sit at desks playing chess and solitaire and we try to listen to someone
talk and we eat three meals a day at exactly eight, twelve, and six and we
watch the clock slowly tick away the day.
We sit in buses or cars and we go places on the weekends and we see the
people we love living the lives we used to.
And we smile.
