Usually when I think of home I start listening to Modest Mouse
Makes me think of all the kids I grew up with and what they're doing now
The cool kids, the badasses, the extras, the stars, the one's we couldn't live without
How the prettiest girl still dates the athlete
How your teachers' word was as good as Miss Cleo's
The forks in the road
The decisions we've made
That lead to the person each one of us became
I often say "You were split second away from not knowing the people you know now"
If you would've never taken that left, if your mom never sent you to private school
The most random people in my life changed it the most drastically
In your times of pain, these are the moments you must remember
Because back then the picture didn't make sense either
Now that you've stepped away, you see how the puzzle fits perfectly together
It's like a crop circle
Stuck inside a maze that all looks the same, until you're pulled away
You realize that you are the adults that we used to talk about
Now Mom's 50 and she's the grandma now
Alex is the guy who works at Boeing
My boy is the assistant coach
Mike's the d boy who actually made it
And Shane's the mechanic that's a controlled heroine addict
Makes you look at yourself and find out where your character fits in the script
Because we all have a role in this sweet game of life
I don't know, but I've been told that you never die and you never grow old
To me, that means that you were always this person and you always will be this person
