Description
A feel-good hook-tastic song that has been likened to '...Pavement at their most upbeat and the Velvet Underground at their least pretentious' by REVOLT Media. The song is a coming of age college romper written by Patrik Gochez and Alex Britten in the fall of 2007 (Boston MA).
Lyrics
OOoooh Now that I've reached that age where I may know my place in life, I'd know when to sport a cap 'fore it hits the fan. I know and she knows, well we both know that I'm ready, man, for a change of scenery and ready to lay down my shakin' hand. I spent some time sitting sky-side, with pie in my eye, I choked and I smoked, but I never did cry, Until her style, and fires, and smiles kept me out all night, and I'm sweating because It's hot and I'm interested in you I've been unkind oh and I didn't care No I did not mind- You should have heard what your mama said That I'm not dignified- Three years ago I wouldn't be this way Though I've found the time- I've seen the stars and I've found the light That you couldn't find- OOooh Now that I've reached that age where I know my place in life, I'd know when to shut my mouth before I spoil the plan. Baby, I know I'm not the world's strongest man, but I'm feeling better about it and we're gonna talk about and I'll... Be your man. I've been unkind oh and I didn't care No I did not mind- You should have heard what your mama said That I'm not dignified- Three years ago I wouldn't be this way Though I've found the time- I've seen the stars and I've found the light That you couldn't find- OOoooh
