I go to bed real early

Everybody thinks it's strange

I get up early in the morning

No matter how disappointed i was

With the day before

It feels new



I don't leave the house much

I don't like being around people

Makes me nervous and weird

I don't like going to shows either

It's better for me to stay home

Some might think it means i hate people

But that's not quite right



I do some stupid things

But my heart's in the right place

And this i know



I got a dog

I take him for a walk

And all the people like to say hello

I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks

I'm learning how to say hello

Without too much trouble



I'm turning out just like my father

Though i swore i never would

Now i can say that i have a love for him

I never really understood

What it must have been like for him

Living inside his head



I feel like he's here with me now

Even though he's dead



It's not all good and it's not all bad

Don't believe everything you read

I'm the only one who knows what it's like

So i though i'd better tell you

Before i leave



So in the end i'd like to say

That i'm a very thankful man

I tried to make the most of my situations

And enjoy what i had

I knew true love and i knew passion

And the difference between the two

And i had some regrets

But if i had to do it all again

Well, it's something i'd like to do
