GROWING UP SIDEWAYS
“Even planet Earth took seven days,
Even if it looks real, you can fake it in a million different ways.
Nobody chose to have their face, but you’re stuck with it,
So rather than counting my curses, I try to stay positive.
I don’t think I’m perfect, but I got some things together,
I see photos of proposals that I know are empty gestures,
Get a grip, you only got one shot, let her rip.
Take a dip, have a smoke, try to laugh at the jokes.”
