Animal Boy - Also-Ran Lyrics

I could wait until I'm older
Or I could waste it all right now
If you'd sit a little closer
Then I would know for sure
For me its all or nothing
For you it's just for fun
I'd do it all again
But I can't do it alone
Don't ask me if I don't
Just tell me what to do
Discovered ancient bones
So how's that other shoe?

They'll offer me salvation but I'll say no
You'll cry and ask me why but I won't know
Words have little meaning when you talk so slow
So just smile and look to god and he'll say

Before you second guess me
Just give me one last try
Driving from the backseat
When I don't know how to drive
I was hoping for a clearing
But we're facing forests now
While they were praising Jesus
I was singing all alone
And then before you know
These hands will become old
Will these fissures do me in
And wonder what could've been?

They'll give me a direction but I won't go
You'll sigh and ask me why but I won't know
Maybe misdirection is just the way it goes
I won't leave no bad decisions lightly sewn

Ask for my opinion and I'll say no
Maybe if I'm honest you'll let me go
Born of false intentions just like the world
Just smile and look to me and I'll say
