about

I've often fallen into the trap of looking at Wikipedia late in the night -- looking at how old my idols were when they did certain things. Lamenting what could've been in my past life, and imagining what still can be in my own life.

lyrics

When I was coming up
Out of the underground
You were already renowned
Spinning the world around
Windows closing sliding doors
Opportunity
Thinking back just underscores
Was it meant to be
What can I say
What can I do
What is the way
To get closer to you

(Chorus)
How long
Does it take
Before I make the same mistakes
Before I learn just what it takes
To be years and years and years
Years behind you

Now that I’m looking back
I still have regrets
And when I reflect
I just can’t forget
But now that I’m setting out
On my second act
There’s no going back
To my former path
Windows closing sliding doors
Opportunity
Thinking back just underscores
Was it meant to be
What can I say
What can I do
What is the way
To get closer to you

(Chorus)
How long
Does it take
Before I make the same mistakes
Before I learn just what it takes
To be years and years and years
Years behind you
But now I’m falling behind
Out of time
I’m years and years and years
Years behind you

When I look at your life
Compare it to mine
I think about your life
Just as much mine
In this skin that covers me
I’m consumed by jealousy
And in my mind I’ll always be
Better than you’ll ever be

(Chorus)
How long
Does it take
Before I make the same mistakes
Before I learn just what it takes
To be years and years and years
Years behind you
But now I’m falling behind
Out of time
I’m years and years and years
Years behind you
