Minus Two Songtext

von Fishboy

In 1981 I was minus two
Dreaming of the things I was gonna do
When I got up the nerve to exit out the womb
I'd open up my mouth and I'd be singing to the room
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And every single day until a day last week
When I closed my eyes I would be singing in my sleep
Picture perfect songs for all the world to keep
But when I raised my head I thought I'd never sang a
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

And now the day is over just as it begun
So lets all sing the song for things that we have done
And things we haven't done

In 1991 when I was only eight
My father sat me down and said someday
You will write a song a song so great
It will save the lone star state
So here's a tape recorder
Here's a microphone
Chronicle the songs
You sing when you're alone
And thank the lord above
For the gift he's bestowed
Now open up your mouth
And sing until you're old
La-la-la-la-la-la

But expectations are so high
And so I never go outside
I sit inside my room
I write a song and hit record
On a portastudio 424 it's true
It's all I do

In twenty zero six I am twenty two
Dreaming of the things I am gonna do
When I get up the nerve to exit out my room
I'll open up my mouth and I'll be singing to ya

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
