Telltale - COBAIN

Young dreamer trying to shoot for the stars
but big dreams never got him too far
Most nights sleeping out in his car
His daddy says life's not that fucking hard

Someone told him he should move out to LA
That's the place with all the fortune and the fame
Pen on paper signed his whole life away
What a shame, such a shame, that we're both the same

Oh, how could he have known
how it feels to be alone on the road
20 hours away from home.

Young girl with her father's guitar
Barely old enough to step in the bar
Playing covers of The Cure and The Cars
Dramatically says she would die for the art

Pictures herself as a young Cobain
She's got a Bleach t-shirt and a beautiful brain
She's been singing just to deal with the pain
That's okay, I've been doing the same, honestly

Oh, how could he have known
how it feels to be alone on the road
20 hours from home
Oh, no one ever knows
what it feels like, 40 shows in a row
They're singing every note

I'm just going to sit outside the club
cos' I don't really want to die this young
Wearing all black with a white lighter
No, you don't want to light my fire
