Ode To Kevin Arnold

I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years

Tearfully nostalgic for them days back in '69

When the world was all just me and Paul playing football in the street

And Winnie Cooper was my love

I'm watchin' Jerry Springer make me sick

As America is throwing chairs again and I'm sittin' in mine

It was you and me watching crappy T.V., apathetic together and glued to the screen

Just wasting each other's time, alone with you

I feel my world is starving

There's a metric-ton of Easy Mac in my soul

You, you know it's not the Matrix

That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here

Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine

Fifteen years old, oh God I ached for you

And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair

All that honey-colored air, oh, oh Kate

Let's not be weird

Not be weird

I watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years

Squandering my wonder years away as the credits roll by

This isn't my life, that wasn't my day, nor was Daniel Stern dictating what I should say

I'd been waiting for my line, God I feel so far away

I feel my world is starving

There's a metric-ton of Easy Mac in my soul

You, you know it's not the Matrix

That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here

Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine

Fifteen years old, oh God I ached for you

And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair

All that honey-colored air, oh, oh Kate

I swear it's not too late to jump out of planes

Go soaring against the sky, I don't know why

It's cool to be anti-everything, but everything has left us here

Where everyday is so unclean, a Jell-o mold of mud and beer

I wanna take you way back where the sun is honey in the air

Let's hurry up and leave today before we both just slip away

It'll be okay
