Bigger Outside

May 13, 2009

The football star ran the halls in the fall, back
In the day
Carried the ball, he was all that
Used to be the star back
Now he’s working bar-back
And I guess you call that
Hurt without a fall back
Now he’s bald, fat
Looking back on thatLife W
hen everything looked so bright
"And I thought coke made ya thinner?
And I thought coach made us winners?"
But now he’s got bills like the rest of us
No longer the center ofattention cuz
Life aint the breakfast club
Used to measure up
With the prom queen
Now she's got three kids
And some mom jeans
Doin laundry
On her third husband
See the crown and the gown
Weren't worth nothing
Cuz it keeps going
Once the credits roll
And you never know how the next episode
Will unfold.....

You may not see it right now
But it gets bigger outside
A whole lot bigger outside
A whole lot bigger


The geek used to read out his window
Sneak out his window
Leaning on his pillow
He’d dream out his window
The world was only as big as he could
Reach out his window
TV or Nintendo
Or he would pretend those
People who act so
Evil would let go
of speaking to him
like a freak in a side show
"Maybe I’d blow
Up like a pyro
Lock ‘em all in my truck with the blind folds
Apologize or duck for survival
Teach ‘em all you don't fuck with a
Psycho"
Or maybe he could just leap out his window
Bleed out his window,
scream out his window
Till he felt a little breeze out his window
Reminding him he was free out his window
All the things he could be out his window
Suddenly made him see, it was simple….


You may not see it right now
But it gets bigger outside
A whole lot bigger outside
A whole lot bigger
