Joseph Thor - Lights Over 17

My parents always told me: don't choke on aspiration
Into the unknown just to get an education
Refused to live the life that everyone else does
Thought I had to be as sad as everyone else was
Am I selfish for bringing up the last time I cried
Blurring the line between arrogance and pride
Couldn't be a man without digging my own grave
Couldn't be a man without anything to save
I've seen the lights over 17
Guess it took my 20 years to find out what they mean
I've seen the lights over 17
Guess it took me 'till today to see they're just my dreams
Another college dropout just add him to the list
My past has nearly killed me, but it's Wednesday for my therapist
Two kids and a swimming pool never seems to sour
Until your last time tearing up Suburbia at 35 an hour
Well
People change and people grow
Where I'm going I don't know
But I know I'll never stop and stare
Well I've
Seen the lights over 17
Guess it took my 20 years to find out what they mean
I've seen the lights with my own damn eyes
I've seen me try my best, and I've seen my own demise
Will I get it right?
Will I sleep tonight?
Can a man who doesn't know what's wrong fix himself?
Is it far too late to try
Does a real man ever cry?
Am I just too young?
Can I bite my tongue?
Am I in over my head?
Can someone help me out, or is it all over?
