Hey Cleveland, thanks for everythingnYour gray skies always seem to comfort menAnd they tell me son, get out while you still can!nThis place will swallow you whole, it's time to be a man…but I can't.nCause I'm still learning about what it means to benMore than an adolescent skeptic with a loose grip on realitynSo for now I'll take my chances, disregarding circumstancesnOne more kiss and one more dance – it's never what it seems.nnYEAHHHH you're nothing but contrivednNo matter what you try, we'll take all our frustrations out on younYou think you've got it all,nBut you've got it all wrong.nYou might be laughing nownBut we'll see who's laughing when the deal goes down.nnVERSE 2:nI know this story like the back of my handnI wasted too much time with fair-weather friendsnThose manic ups and those horrible downsnBefore I knew it I had run myself agroundnSo I'll never forget all the time I spentnJust searching for a means to my lethargic endnHalf a year in a sea of emotion, half a year of cerebral corrosionnBut her love isn't fake; she cures all my achesnShe is the future and she keeps me awake.nnYEAHHHH you're nothing but contrivednNo matter what you try, we'll take all our frustrations out on younYou think you've got it all,nBut you've got it all wrong.nYou might be laughing nownBut we'll see who's laughing when the deal goes down.nnGod save me, but we all still make mistakesnAnd I'm no longer feeling trapped by these Great LakesnYou know I wanted to be anything but what I already was.nShe told me what they say don't matter but I promised her it does.nAnd those words still sting, but to a trivial extent.nI think about how fast those dark clouds came and went.nShe says know what you love and love what you knownI guess the hardest part is finally letting go.
