It used to be so easy, the early days But my memory just slowly fades I'm heading on my way So I make my breakfast to start the day But I can't remember where I keep the plates It's a code I just can't break So I stand alone at the kitchen sink The growing fear makes it hard to think Something just ain't right with me… I have a close friend that I go to everyday Just across the river from the Rose Parade But just when I think I recognize her face, I know this mind ain't no normal place And one quick breath, it makes no sense But I'm thinking as hard as I can
So to that I'll toast, on this very fine day In this very place, I'll say When I find all the things that you hide, I know I'll need them When all the things we know may end I know you'll have them Every weekend I have some guests These beautiful children tell me that I'm the best And I can feel it in my chest But there's a dark secret that I must confess This game of "name that kid" is a cruel test I'm growing further from the rest So I stand alone in a crowded room I'm panic stricken and trapped in my tomb I hope I wake up soon… (repeat chorus)
