Driving into the night
You turn the radio dial
You hear an old song from high school
That you love, and you smile
Despite all the static
You complete all of the lyrics
And you don't even try
How you could remember
Every single line of Third Eye Blind
And Nevermind, you'll never know why
Hey, hey!
You gave up all of your dreams
Without so much as a fight
The company that you'd own
And the novel you'd write
You think you might begin it
But you sit alone on Sundays
Watching Magnum P.I.
Wondering, maybe, if perhaps
You could pull off that mustache
And those tiny shorts if you were a spy
Hey, hey!
Next stop is Loserville
It's closer every moment you drive
Better take the next exit
Before you find you're 35
Hey, hey!
The person you always swore
You would never become
Is coming out of your heels
And from under your thumbs
How could it have happened
That you turned into the loser
That you always despised?
Maybe it is because
It was just what you were all along
But somehow you never realized
Hey, hey!
